I'm interested to see how successful these courses would be as you start moving out of programming related areas. ML, AI and DB would interest many programmers and has been a success but anatomy may not generate the same kind of interest.

What are they going to do for labs/dissections?
What are they going to do for exams (or equivalent)?<p>This is still a very interesting idea/class and I hope it succeeds 100%.
