Even as a dinosaur nerd, I still learned a lot. Instructional videos with embedded quizzes were very well constructed. I'm just a bit bummed that I couldn't access the fossil viewer for some reason.

Thank you for this excellent course! I really enjoyed the short videos, the concise notes, and quick quizzes (both at the end of each lesson, as well as the main point quizzes throughout the videos).

Algunos capitulos fueron mucho mas densos que otros, y me hubiese sido mas facil aprender si hubiesen estado dosificados mejor

The first part is far more interesting than the second one. A good MOOC, not too hard, but still serious and full of notions.

very interesting course. A bit heavy on scientific

names for dinosaurs, but I Suppose that’s to be expected.

The videos are entertaining but if the pdf is read through, its simple enough to take and pass the quiz.
