Excellent course! Very thorough. Very knowledgable presenters. Loved how well the course was laid out. I with there could be more interactive activities like the dinosaur foot!

This course was packed full of interesting information. The only thing i would change is the length of individual classes. This could easily have been a 10 week course.

Es un curso muy útil ya que nos enseña como fue el proceso de evolución de los dinosaurios para finalmente convertirse en voladores..

Fantastic course on theropods, I just wish they went a bit more into detail with some of the anatomy

These courses on Ancient Life Evolution are best when they discuss how species developed, how they adapted and how they were discovered. The laundry listing of species in some of the lectures was a snooze fest however. It also repeated what was in other lectures for the week. I would have preferred more information on the ecosystem in which the critters dwelled. The Ancient Marine Reptile class did a much better job of presenting this info although it did some laundry listing.

The course has incredible content, but you are required to read quite a bit of information via lengthy pdfs prior to the videos. This is not my learning style so I found it challenging.
As a Naturalist and bird lover, I was eager to take the course and glad that I did.

Very general content material. I enjoyed Dr. Currie, but found the presenter to be smug and pedantic

Interesting subject, but not much content and assessments are way too short. More variety in assignments would be nice too.
