FAQ

  • Can I edit the material?

    Absolutely! The materials are provided in Google Slides and Google Docs. Copy into your own Google Drive or download it to edit and make it your own.

  • How does the copyright work?

    All original copyright stays with me. You have permission to use and edit these materials for your own educational programs. The limitation on use is that you can't re-sell them or transfer their use to someone else.

  • What do I need to present these lessons?

    All anatomy lessons contain a visually rich presentation, so you will need a projector and computer to teach. I recommend a skeleton, though it's not required.

  • Do I get materials immediately?

    Because I want you to have my most recent and update files, I will personally email you the links to your lesson plans within 48 hours of your purchase.
