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 course was very interesting and very informative. Not only did it help correct stereotypes or prejudices, it showed a wide range of subjects pertaining to global and specific Indigenous cultures.

I really appreciated this course and am a better person for it. But I found the delivery a little flat. Would have preferred a more dynamic content, chock full of hard examples and first person stories of the concepts being shared.

Informative, presented from a specific point of view, but reasonably balanced, and easy to access and use.
The presentation style was clear, but repetative and, at times, failed to keep me engaged.
Overall, worthwhile and eye opening.

Thought provoking and illuminating. However lectures often seem choppy and are not always engaging. Presenters seem to be reading from overly academic sounding text, the content gets more compelling as the course progresses though.

I think the course was fine. However, I have not received my certificate in the mail yet. I paid $65 for this certificate and completed the course on October 4. Please reply and let me know when it will come.
Thank you,

Content was wonderful, learned a lot. The questions themselves can be improved to match the language provided in the course work and reading material; many questions were difficult to answer because of the disconnect in language.

The course was totally well-organized, well-developed, comprehensive, and enlightening; however, the tedious presentation of the speakers could have been more dynamic. Moreover, the interviews and artworks were fascinating.

The way the questions are written in the quiz's is very confusing. There is no need for that. Even with the course notes right in front of me it sometimes marked my answer as incorrect although stated in the course notes.

It is great to learn about everything that we have learned about, but it is jutst a very tough way to learn. It would have ben nice to have had more questions pop up throughout and have the content be more engaging.

There was a great amount of insightful information; however, I found the quizzes to be rather difficult. Many of the questions were worded in a way that made it nearly impossible to be 100% sure about your answers.

I did find it a bit light on details, so I found I didn't walk away learning much. But it's just an intro course, and I have no talent for sociology so ymmv. But I hope that later courses are more in-depth.

interesting and informative. Would have welcomed more information on worldview, culture and history of Metis and Inuit people with a comparison to Indian people. Perhaps this is offered in another course?

Some information presented was quite predjudice against non-Indig peoples. Some broader perspectives would be good to include. Thank you. I learned some things and will continue to persue the subject.

Good Course, I learned a lot.
I hope when they are taking time to review the content, quizzes, etc. there is someone who is able to correct all of the errors that were noted in the discussion forums.

Very informative but the presentation is horrible. The lecturers just read out a slightly different version of the pdf instead of presenting freely. Very tiring. The interviews were great tho.

Many sections of the course were interesting (especially the early history related to the fur trade, etc.); however, some of the legal sections were a bit overwhelming and difficult to follow.

I think that the course would be stronger with more emphasis on evidence and data than opinion. The first part was much better than the second part, which was nearly all theory and opinion.

Most of the course was well done. However, it needs a good editor. Week 7 was particularly frustrating with repetition and disorganized presentations.
Overall, worthwhile. Glad I took it.

Gracias.

Information in later modules could have been presented more concisely. In some topics it seemed like perspectives were limited and controversial information was often glossed over.

This course was a great overview of many areas of Indigenous Canada, however I found many of the videos too dull to maintain my attention. When other speakers were used, it helped.

Beyond fantastic course on First Nations. I truly wish this was taught to me at an earlier age. Understanding First Nations and the history of this land is crucial in our education.

was a great course learned a lot but I found the questions were a little hard because it used words I never heard of or seen before, should be something taught in the readings.

I had much higher hopes for learning of the indigenous history aspect of Canadian colonization. I found the course to systemically biased to be of much, if any credible use.

I appreciate how balanced the course content felt, not an overly negative communication but highlighted positives and negatives of our Indigenous history in Canada.

Seemed one-sided and I didn't learn much realistic/partical stuff like what happens on a reserve, the organization of the bands, etc. But I did enjoy the history.
