Very fun to watch.

Rating: 4
This vid was very interesting to watch because it's national geographic, and national geographic is always good. But not incredibly detailed as far as important knowledge for college classes.

Great for the classroom.

Rating: 5
I am a community college teacher and have used this in my classroom. I love the graphics.This movie is broken into pieces that enable you to show the section before lecture, usually only being 15 to 20 minutes. Overall my class liked this movie, good graphics, also the footage of inside the body is really well done. Not boring for college age students, would be good for high school students as well.

homeschooling must!.

Rating: 5
I used this for homeschooling my 10 and 11 year old. It absolutely held their interest and was incredibly informative, although there were a couple of scenes during which they felt the need to cover their eyes. (Just graphic, not inappropriate) Reproduction was tastefully presented and there was no need to fast-forward! I believe I learned at least as much as they did although I have been an RN for 16 years- Very well done, entertaining, some humorous sections, some very touching. My five year old attempted to watch it, though, and was quickly running out of the room because it was too "disgusting".

Great teaching tool.

This DVD is a great teaching tool. I use it at the Community College for an Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology class. The students love it. They learn without realizing. I like that the format is divided into body systems. It would have helped me:(1)to know before purchase that the DVD is 100 min. (too long for 1 class) and (2) to have an insert in the DVD case that gives times for the various systems covered. My preview at home accomplished those 2 purposes.
