Good Breakdown of Information with Helpful Examples

April 14, 2022

Appreciate that explanations are given for why it is important to do things in a certain way. Understanding why it is important makes it easier to remember, and makes me more conscientious about doing it that way. There was one question about trichinosis that was asked in a quiz before the topic was covered in the next section.
