The course is very detailed in its explanation and breakdown of HIPPA and how it comes into practice. The graphics were a good break from reading clusters of words if that is an issue for anyone. The only thing I struggled with was some explanations and wording of things. They were a bit hard to understand. The meaning of the concept or statement wasn't clear but that's just me. Overall great course, easy to follow.
