Promoting OGM...

I was so excited when I saw that Professor Daniel Chamovitz was doing another course on plants. I completed his first course some years ago. I so enjoyed that course. Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I had a hysterectomy and six courses of chemotherapy. I had heard that it can affect ones brain. So, not only have I proved to myself that my brain is functioning just fine, I have spoiled myself by taking and passing this fascinating course.

Thank you so much Professor. I hope that you will be back with another course on plants to delight me. I am a 73 years old female living in the plant paradise of Cape Town, South Africa where there are a huge variety of indigenous plants waiting to help mankind.

extremely interesting material and enthusiastic and knowledgeable presentation. However, the transcription leaves a lot to be desired. This needs to be carefully edited because there are numerous errors in spelling (corcyra), syntax, and punctuation that make it difficult to review what has been presented in the lecture. Also a few errors on quizzes (dooder), for example. If I had paid money for this course, I would be even more frustrated. Surely, there is someone who can compare the transcripts with the professor's lectures and make the necessary corrections! (its and it's) is another glaring problem.

Understanding Plants - Part II is very interesting course in which people with differente level of knowledge can learn more and new things about the plants. All the academic staff teach very well and they use excellent examples for teaching. It allows us to undertand everything in a clearly and easy way. Also the second part of the course was very much interesting, because the complex processes of plant explain very briefly with the simply way. Overall, the course was very nice and I would like to thank all of the academic staff. I am eagerly waiting for course on post harvest technology.

Excellent course, very clear and complete biology material, I am convince that undersatanding plant could be a tremendous tool to provide food in the next years, we could start ourselves and then teaching our childeren to get along with crops. It is amazing how plants respond to all the stimuli we deliver to them, in this class I have learned a lot about taking care to plants.

Thanks Prof. Daniel

Coming from an electronics and communications engineering background, I was able to learn (in-depth probably) the fundamentals of plant biology through this course. The discussions of the professor were delivered clearly with great substance. There is no dull moment as every statement contains important information. This course is very recommended to aspiring plant scientists!

Un curso muy claro e interesante, perfecto para repasar términos o iniciarse en otros. Todos los puntos de vista tratan de ser explicados con ejemplos y razonamiento. Aunque uno pueda no estar al cien por cien de acuerdo con el profesor en sus conclusiones finales, el curso está elaborado de una manera muy didáctica y clara.

Muy recomendable, muchas gracias.

As with the previous course, excellently prepared and presented material. Chosen to present contemporary goals and challenges, had real-world case studies, data from multiple disciplines, thought provoking & engaging way of presenting the material. Hope there will be more of it in the future, but my (not alkaline!) gut-feeling leads me to think otherwise...

I enjoyed this course very much. I know that it covers only a fraction of what there is to learn about plant physiology but it is a great introduction of the many facets of this study. And so I am very grateful for having been able to access this course online and completed it today. I learnt such a lot, and it made me want to learn more.

This course provides an excellent foundation in cell biology and plant structure and physiology. The lesson on genetic engineering and genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) was backed by science and included interesting case studies. The course content and professor are both outstanding. The quizzes are challenging. Highly recommend!

very interesting course , it opens my eyes how important to search more and not trust the avialible resources we found in the internet.

we may be more thinking who to be sufficient specialspecially in the middle east and Africa. it is important to rethinking about GMO food products.

have a nice day all of who join this course.

thank you for the facilities and financial assistance, I am grateful to be able to take this course and complete this course, so that through the new experiences and knowledge that I have learned it has given me new enthusiasm to continue learning about the world of agriculture, especially in the place where I live now

This is such a great class. I enjoyed Understanding Plants Part I as well. I love how the professor teaches, he is so good at explaining and he is enthusiastic, just an amazing teacher. The class goes over so, so much and does it in an easy to understand and very organized manner. I highly recommend this class!

Very informative course that really gives you a good foundation for understanding plant biology. The course can be challenging (in a good way) at times if you have no background in this field, but professor Chamovitz explains all the material very clearly and his passion is inspiring. Would absolutely recommend!

Much was learned and I had a blast! As in part I, prof. Chamovitz is informative, enthusiastic and entertaining... these classes have made me want to get my hands dirty doing some real biology. Thanks (and please make a no-holds-barred part III that would go deep into the chemistry/genetics/techniques)!

This course gives a clear and understandable overview of plant biology, including basic structure of plants and photosynthesis. Professor Chamovitz makes complicated principles easy to understand and I enjoyed his lecture style. I also appreciated his logical overview of genetic engineering in plants.

exellent and focused course providign an in-depth look into the essential points of the molecular biology of plants as well as exploring and educating us about important issues of agriculture genetic engineering and our ever changing relationship with planets and the world we live in in general

Study from this university is my dream and they teached in easy and understanding way. Thank you so much for enrolling in free aid class , This course gave me the proper and detailful knowledge about plant biology and phsiology . I'm feel owner to attend this course from this israel university

The lecture was excellent by the professor. He uses the media very well . And the way he explained is very interesting,clear and perfect. This is an amazing course in which people learn . Thank you sir making me a part of this course. I am very thankful to you for being your student.

First of all, if you do not have a basic biaology background take the first course of the series because you'll need it.

I loved this course so much. Dr. Chamovitz is such a great professor, I was really interested in the genetic part of the course and it satisfied my expectations.

All Thanks to Professor Daniel Chamovitz, who gave me the opportunity to take this course, offering me a deeper knowledge of what plant knows, I'm forever grateful for this opportunity, I'll recommend this course to others inquisitive to understand what plant knows

This course is a great primer on plant biology. Danny Chamovitz provides clear instruction with relevant examples, and great objective and science-based information on the use and application of GMOs in modern agriculture, and its effects on our growing population.

My thanks to Tel Aviv University and Professor Daniel Chamovitz for a very interesting and informative course. I felt a bit at sea during lockdown and Understanding Plants 1and 2 helped preserve some sanity and gave much food for thought.

Much appreciated.

Very Happy with the presentations they put in the lectures. Very comprehensibly put. This course says "Fundamentals of Plant Biology" and serves the same way. Not very advanced things but the ones that are put are worth going through to know/study. Thanks.

Es un curso bastante completo para el poco tiempo que demanda invertir, lo recomiendo ampliamente, va más allá de lo que te enseñan en una universidad públia al menos en México y tiene una secuencia que te permite ir de la mano comprendiendo cada tema.
