Even as a dinosaur nerd, I still learned a lot. Instructional videos with embedded quizzes were very well constructed. I'm just a bit bummed that I couldn't access the fossil viewer for some reason.

Thank you for this excellent course! I really enjoyed the short videos, the concise notes, and quick quizzes (both at the end of each lesson, as well as the main point quizzes throughout the videos).

Good points: systemic coverage of the topic, and instructors all seem enthusiastic about the subject.
However: sometimes there is this avalanche of different dinosaurs that is impossible to keep up. Also, my granddaughter (not quite 8) knows more about dinosaurs from reading books.

Great explanations and fun classes, excellent drawings and visualizations, but I did find this course a bit one-sided. You could improve it by spending some time discussing the evidences against millions of years, and the evidences of people living contemporary with dinosaurs.

I enjoyed this class and learned a lot. My only reason for not giving it five stars is because the 3D fossil viewer never worked for me, and the reading assignments had a lot of typos/grammatical errors/spelling errors. Someone should proofread the "text book" for future use.

There are a few mistakes here and there, and a few things need to be updated, but overall, the course is really good for a beginners level in Paleobiology. It was well explained, the diagrams and quizes were helpful and the resources complemented the course well.

Over all this course was great and i learned a lot! One thing i wasn't happy with, was the fossil viewer stopped working after maybe the 3rd or 4th interaction. Every time i would try and look at it a blue page would come up and none of it worked.

Over all a good course. Some of the quiz questions could be rewritten for clarity. The section on Diversity should be its own module, not just tacked onto the paleo-geography module. Otherwise a fun course that does a good job keeping you engaged.

I have learned a lot! If I'm honest, I didn't watch the videos as I found some of the lecturers difficult to watch (repetitive motions, speech too slow, patronising tones etc.). Otherwise an awesome, interactive and informative course. Thank you!

very much enjoyed the course, learned a lot - especially in the first three weeks. I did notice some spelling errors in the video text but otherwise good. I paid for a certificat and cannot for the life of me find how to get that.

This was a very fun and interesting course, and I have gained a lot of new knowledge from the helpful teachers! My only complaint is that half of the supplementary resources either no longer exist or are stuck behind a paywall.

Its a great place to have your information about the dinosaurs. From their live and death to daily ways. The field works tells you about the ground reality. But some thing are which didn't went to my expectations. Rest Great

Great course and really informative. It would be great to have a glossary for the meaning of some of the new vocabulary as I am only 13 and that would have been really helpful. Hope to do another course in the future.

The fossil viewer did not work even once in the whole course, despite complaining. Another thing is that you should appreciate the work of students by providing free certificate when you made the course free.

if your dinosaur fan you probably know much of this stuff it gets some stuff wrong like trilobites being fully extinct and stuff like that. i suggest this program to all ages who wan't to be a paleontologist

Overall very good course laid in a easily digestible manner. Would enjoy a bit more quizzes or interact-able diagrams to better ingrain the learned concepts. Thanks for making the course! Time well spent.

The course is very good, but the certificate sucks. I paid 64 dollars, and do not include the main information such as the number of hours invested in the course and the history (programmatic content).

gracias! este es uno de los cursos mas completos que he realizado, sin dudar les daría 5 estrellas pero no lo hago porque el visor virtual en 3D no funcionó, aun así el curso estuvo muy completo

I thought this course had a lot of interesting information and I learned a lot from it. Some of the material was little to complicated for me to understand when I went over it the first time.

I really enjoyed the class. I learned a lot and was corrected some things. My only issues with this course were with the quizzes not work some times and the fossil viewer not work at all.

Well done, nicely organized, easy to go at your own pace. Perhaps hits vocabulary too much. I'd rather have a stronger paleoecology componet. Still, very enjoyable and full of stories.

It was very interresting and I learned many things, but I think you could use of more pictures in the PDF of the courses... (maps, phylogeny, drawing of bones ...) Thank you for all ;)

It was good, but I wish the quiz was longer at the end of all the weeks. it was only five questions so if you got one wrong you get eighty. it would be better with say, 10 questions.

Lots of information to take in but very well presented using examples, showing fossils, referencing existing animals. The terms were clear and easy enough to understand.

On the last quiz of the class, it said all of the answers were wrong. There was no right answer but there wasnt an option to put that! Otherwise, great class:)

I think having the definitions up of key words on the screen so students could pause would be beneficial, other than that I enjoyed and learned a lot from it.

It was fun! The questions in the middle of the video were good to maintain attention, although a few of them seemed out of place. Over all a good experience.
