The course was very well-structured and I could learn quite a lot. It was very hard to me but it was very helpful. I want to follow learning.

Thank you, teacher.

Covers a wide range of TCM topics. This course helped take my TCM understanding to a much higher level -- and makes me realize how much there is still to learn!

Some of the lecturers can only be understood when reading the transcript due to their pronunciation problems. The additional readings are not free like in other courses. There is no feedback to reported technical problems and no feedback from the lecturers and/or assistants to clarify when students got problems of understanding. The name indicates, that knowledge from this course could be used in everyday life, which is not the case. It is more a superficial course on Chinese medical theory.
