Evaluation comments from past students: This course has received positive feedback from previous students for many years. "I just loved this course. I think it should be a mandatory course at the university". "I learnt so much, I am so excited that I am an undergraduate and I can read 12 lead ECGs and life-threatening arrhythmias". "Anne is just so passionate about the lectures, we all had such fun". "Wish all my subjects were over a week like this, I now have less work to do next year as I used this course as an elective for my university course". "Thanks Anne, the course was fantastic". "I am a Registered Nurse in the Coronary Care Unit, I have learnt so much about ECGs, cardiac disorders and rhythms. I feel so much more confident at work. I also found doing the course over one week suited me better rather than over a long semester". Thanks for all your support and enthusiasm, this was the best elective! |
