The guy is full of shit. He's just trying to sell you his book and his online game product. He was also obsessed with bragging about all of his accomplishments. I was quite disgusted by him at the end. I paid for the certification, but now I want my money back.

Not a lot of information if you have even minimal interest in the subject.

Seems more like advertising to go to his somewhat bogus site and spend money for ego and add to his "research."

A waste of money. Only $50, but it was so terrible I did not even want to finish it. And apparently I waited too long to get a refund as well. Never again.

If you didn't like the first few lectures, you won't like the rest. It won't get better. More repetition, clichés, and advertisement that anything else.

I just do not feel a connection with this professor - he is constantly plugging his book and the website. The content is just not engaging.

A ploy to sell their books and internet subscriptions. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Not learning much and constantly being bombarded with sales tactics. Not impressed.

A waste of time. One long advertisement for the instructor's book.

Mostly just an ad for the instructor's startup. Very annoying.

This was a giant advertisement and got tiresome very quickly.

A lot of advertising, so poor about tehcniques and studies.

what a long ad

Not much here

Dear Coursera Team and Duke University, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Coursera, Duke University, and, especially, to Associate Professor Brian Hare for offering the insightful and enriching course, Dog Emotion and Cognition. This course has been an eye-opening experience, providing a deep dive into the science of dog psychology, evolutionary and cognitive theory, and experimental methodologies. The course not only enhanced my understanding of dogs but also broadened my perspective on animal cognition and behavior. I was amazed by how the course connects the science of dog behavior with evolutionary principles, allowing me to appreciate the unique traits and cognitive abilities of dogs. The hands-on cognitive games were a perfect way to apply the knowledge directly to real-world scenarios with my own dog, which made the learning process even more engaging and rewarding. Professor Brian Hare’s expertise and passion for the subject were evident throughout the course, and his teachings have left a lasting impact on my approach to animal care, training, and my broader understanding of the human-animal connection. This course has been instrumental not only for my personal growth but also in my professional role at Animal SOS Sri Lanka, where we strive to improve the lives of animals. I now feel empowered with new insights to contribute to our work more effectively, ensuring that we approach animal welfare with a deep understanding of animal cognition and behavior. Thank you once again for providing such an invaluable learning experience. I look forward to continuing my journey in this field and hope to take further advanced courses in animal cognition and evolutionary sciences in the future. Warm regards, Amal Pathirana Chief Marketing Officer Animal SOS Sri Lanka

Fascinating material! I greatly enjoyed Dr. Hare's presentations and learning not only more about dogs but also cognitive processes across multiple species. I highly recommend investing in the optional reading material, "The Genius of Dogs" book. This course was my first Coursera experience, and it has inspired me to check out more courses. Thank you!

What a fascinating look into the burgeoning science around dog cognition, expanding beyond operant and classical conditioning. I hold a degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior and attended veterinary medical college and still learned some really fun things about dogs.

Great course with a lot of new information, not just about dogs but even domestication of other species, including humans. The predictability of aggression in humans would be an interesting next topic

An excellent introduction to the world of dog cognition. Anyone who is interested in working with dogs, or just learning more about their new adopted family member should definitely take this course.

Excellent course on understanding dog cognition and communication through the application of scientific experimentation. Easy to follow lectures by Dr. Hare and great insights with his explanations.

Really interesting course that gives a great overview of some of the latest research in canine behavior. Helpful even for a regular dog-owner that just wants to understand the mind of their dog.

This course is essential for a dog owner, business, trainer or even if you are just a person who has an interest in dogs! Concise yet packed with information. Thank you

Dr. Hare was exactly the professor you would want him to be in this course. Enthusiastic, informative, and awe of the animals we call our best friend.

I really loved the course.I learnt a lot of new things about my dog.The videos were short and sweet which is why it was easy to understand.

Очень понравился курс. Узнала много интересного. Очень поможет в дальнейшем изучении психологии собак.

The author was quite talented in communicating the concepts contained therein. I learned a lot
