The material presented in this course was interesting and informative, and I enjoyed the course overall. However, it differed from the other nine Coursera courses I have undertaken in two ways:

1. There were very few videos - just a brief introductory video for each topic. The remainder of the course required extensive reading of online material. I may as well have read a text-book.

2. The majority of the material was not produced by the University of North Texas but has been taken from Concepts of Biology (OpenStax), with due acknowledgement. Often, diagram numbers in the text refer to diagrams in OpenStax, i.e. they have not been edited to correspond to diagrams in this course.

One other criticism: the questions which are asked throughout the videos are often not correctly timed, and there is no indication of the format required when 2 answers are required (separated by commas, spaces or ?).

It was an introductory biology course, simple, and clear, I recommend it to all those who want to brush up on and / or clarify key concepts of biology. I would like those who taught this course to prepare another showing the correlation between genetics and evolutionism. Well-done !

Lots of readings but actually really enjoyed them. If you 1. don't have a passion for reading and/or 2. don't have a passion for science and the study of living organisms then you will not enjoy this course lol but being an avid reader and loving science as a pre-med student, I really loved it.

I really enjoyed the videos. The reading was hard for me since I am a mom of three, studying at home. The questions during video play were hard to get right, maybe due to a glitch.

Overall, the content was thorough an interesting. That being said, there were quite a few grammatical errors in the readings that should have been caught.
