    Course Topic: Muscles of the Gluteal Region - Part 1
    Comment: I am really impressed with this course - clear and easy to understand. In the section about the hip, the terminology was printed on screen during the tutorial which was really useful. However, in the Gluteal Region section the terminology is spoken but not written - personally I would benefit from seeing the words spelt correctly onscreen as they are discussed.
