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).

Los exámenes al final de cada modulo deberían ser un poco más complicados.

An interesting course that had plenty of material that was new, informative and well presented. However it felt some what dated and I was very disappointed that the fossil viewer only worked on one occasion - and when it did the images seemed low resolution and not reflective of current technology. That said I enjoyed the presentations and learnt a lot, even if I found the names of species, groups and so on confusing and overwhelming. I would have liked to see more images (and at higher resolution) of some of the animals/concepts being discussed. That said, I want to emphasis that I learnt a lot and will make time to read further on the topic).

Hesperonychus is classified as saurischian, and in an earlier lesson we were told that saurischians had forward-tilted pubes. But, Hesperonychus has a backward-tilted pubes. Birds have backward-tilted pubes yet descended from theropods, which were saurischian. its wrong please fix this for the other learners so they dont get it wrong.

Comecei o curso há pouco tempo, está em inglês e não existe a possibilidade de colocá-lo em português, por isso a aprendizagem do conteúdo acaba sendo imensamente mais difícil. Peço que em breve exista a possibilidade de incorporar outras línguas à tradução do curso.

Good for beginners, but as good as I could've been. the facts used in this are like from 2014. I would benefit from using more up to date facts, could've also focused more on some non-dinosaurian animals.
