Great portion of knowledge together with tutor's experience was provided in that course. I did learn things which I wasn't even aware regarding animal welfare. It is quite thought-provoking course.

It was a very interesting course. I am taking it from the United States and I did have some problem in understanding the presenters. Occasionally I would follow along in the transcripts.
