    This video on biochemistry was fantastic! The instructor broke down the complex pathway into easy-to-follow steps with excellent, clear visuals. Highly recommend for any student needing a metabolism review.A super efficient biochemistry quick review! The pacing was perfect for final exam prep, covering amino acids, protein structure, and enzyme kinetics in just 15 minutes. A must-watch summary. An in-depth explanation of DNA replication with great molecular detail. The diagrams were superb, but the audio quality was a bit low at times. Still, the detailed mechanistic breakdown is valuable for advanced learners.
  • The has been successfully learnt and all the lessons were very simple to understand. I therefore recommend all interested individual who wants to learn more about biochemistry to take part in this course. As a chemistry teacher, this course has enlightened me on the processes of protein synthesis and its benefits to living organisms, specifically humans.

    I am satisfied by the the lectures. These videos provide me with pretty good incentives to work harder and be a brighter student
  • G.Kavitha
    Easily understand, and useful topics covered in this class
    Diagrammatic explanation is ensure for easy understand. Really nice class.
  • Javaria Ashfaq
    This course provides basic knowledge about all the biochemical process occuring in our body, including energy exchange, energy production from glucose and it's utilization.
  • Sicelo Dlamini
    I learned about protein, its chemical components, amino acids, and their components, shapes, and types. In this course, I learned how to distinguish between an amino acid chain or an individual one.
  • Deepali Prabhakar Ghivare
    It is very beneficial to me to get a lot of knowledge regarding biochemistry ( Protein structure , macromolecules , photosynthesis, Krebs cycle, ETC cycle , glycolysis)This course creates intrest in the biochemistry subject. It also useful to increase the techniqual knowledge . I hope you also upload some other certificates courses for pharmacy students.

  • Devika S
    It was very helpful and got lots of information about the basics of biochemistry ..this was a got platform you to explore and learn about biochemistry background which is knowledgeable
  • Veljko Grujičić
    The organic chemistry course provides a solid foundation in the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-based compounds. It covers key topics such as functional groups, reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and spectroscopy in a clear and logical progression. The explanations are generally well-structured, helping students understand not just what happens in reactions, but why they occur. Practical examples and problem-solving exercises reinforce theoretical concepts effectively. However, the pace can feel intense at times, especially when introducing complex mechanisms. Overall, the course is highly valuable for developing analytical thinking and is essential for students pursuing chemistry, medicine, or related scientific fields.
