Such important information for us all. This course was eye-opening and should really be taken by every Canadian. The course flows along nicely and is easy to navigate. I am better for having taken it.

This is a must for anyone, non-indigenous to Indigenous to complete. Should also be a part of the process to become a Canadian citizen. Very well done. I thank you for opening my eyes, mind and heart.

I AM VERY PLEASED TO HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THIS COURSE AND LEARNED SO MUCH MORE THAN EVER TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOL GROWING UP IN CANADA.

WELL DONE, I AM PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH THE OPTIONS OF LEARNING METHODS AND STYLES AND WISH ALL COURSES AT COLLEGE OR UNIVERISTY HAD BEEN OFFERED IN THIS FORMAT WHEN I AND MY SON WERE IN SCHOOL.

THANK YOU

I found this course tedious ,with the presenters doing little but reading off of a teleprompter, hardly inspiring. I admit that I learned more about the oppression of Indigenous people than I already knew, but found that the course gave little relevant information or viewpoints that can be applied in oru present and challenging times

I had hoped for a course was more balanced in its presentation. For the most part the "guest presenters" gave the most balanced discussions. Not enough of these. Regarding the presentation of Week 12, Indigenous Art, showing examples of works of art by artists discussed would have been preferred to watching the presentors.

It was intensive and in-depth. The questions were worded in a confusing and uncessasarily difficult and frusterating way that provided no long term value. Also 62$ for a certificate. I think not.

Ethically lacking in hard truths, offensive to actual Indigenous peoples, but well structured and the inclusion of the arts throughout was incredible.

Lots of unnecessary material and extremely longwinded presentation. If you can make the video play back rate to 4x speed that would greatly assist.

Content was informative, but I did not find the videos engaging and found learning, for me, was better absorbed through reading through the PDF's.

The video did not give much indication as to the correct answers. The time said it would take 20 hours, it took me well past that. Not impressed.

History is not my strongest subject. Although I loved the content... I found this too difficult and had to drop course.

The reason I have taken this Indigenous Canada course it was advertised as a free of charge and yet they charge me $64 dollars for the certificate I never wanted! Coursera is a scammer fake organization. Stay away from this Coursera.org. Do not register any of your credit cards with this scammer origanization.

I wouldn’t have a clue why anyone would stick with this. There are much more efficient, practical resources out there that are free and actually account for something. The knowledge you are expected to gather from the course is outrageous. Have fun learning!

I am extremely disappointed with such a powerful dose of leftist propaganda and contempt for the European civilizational contribution to these wild regions of the world.
