Well done, nicely organized, easy to go at your own pace. Perhaps hits vocabulary too much. I'd rather have a stronger paleoecology componet. Still, very enjoyable and full of stories.

This was such an awesome course! Philip and Betsey were great to listen to, they make the course fun and every lesson is fascinating to learn. My love for dinosaurs have grown so much more.

An interesting course that had plenty of material that was new, informative and well presented. However it felt some what dated and I was very disappointed that the fossil viewer only worked on one occasion - and when it did the images seemed low resolution and not reflective of current technology. That said I enjoyed the presentations and learnt a lot, even if I found the names of species, groups and so on confusing and overwhelming. I would have liked to see more images (and at higher resolution) of some of the animals/concepts being discussed. That said, I want to emphasis that I learnt a lot and will make time to read further on the topic).

It was very interesting to learn about the dinosaurs. The examples from the museum were cool and you could see the presentor had a passion for dinosaurs. However they would use difficult words (understandable) but without giving a really clear definition which resulted in me having to google it myself. Oh also some of the links in the class notes don't work anymore However I did learn a whole lot about dinosaurs and my knowledge is now a lot more then it was before (Dino's lived and at one point they died and also Trex). I now know about the importance of a dinosaurs hips and what fenestrae are and a lot more
