Already taken the step but these are great review lectures to keep the knowledge fresh. Appreciate the lectures Dr Raj!
The video was very down to earth and easy to understand. Thank you
I'm glad you fixed the mistakes in the classes so we can fully trust lecturio.
Tons of mistakes in what seems to be all fields of Lecturio videos. It's a shame really. This one in particular goes on about the "virus" H. Influenzae. It's just tons of basic stuff that they really mess up. I wouldn't even use this as a free resource honestly.
