| This DVD helped me better understand what I was reading in my A&P textbook. For some of the more difficult topics (like action potentials in the nervous system and cardiac conduction), it doesn't matter how many times you read about it, you need to see it in action in order to truly grasp what is going on physiologically. The animations do just that. For people who are more visual learners, this DVD is a great tool.
<br />
<br />Each animation also has an accompanying audio track that describes what is being displayed on the screen. (Good for aural learners.) Combined, these tools are extremely useful for remembering the steps of the body's different processes (in exact order) when it comes to exam time. Another feature of this DVD that is good for test review are the interactive games and exercises.
<br />
<br />There are two reasons why I am not giving it 5 stars, the first being the navigation. At the end of each animation, it tells you to click on a certain body part or drawing label in order to continue. It sometimes takes a while to find out where you need to click, and even then the "hot spots" are not very big so you have to look for the hand icon to know EXACTLY where to click. I would rather have a "NEXT" button that is always displayed on the same place on the screen. (However, I think I remember reading that in version 2.0, navigation was improved so maybe this annoyance has been fixed.)
<br />
<br />The 2nd reason I cannot give it 5 stars is due to the price. $290.00!! Holy Moley! (That is about twice as much as my anatomy tetbook!) I luckily purchased this DVD at my college bookstore at a greatly reduced price - one of the DVD authors is an Anatomy professor at my school. |
