This is a mind-blowing and very important course that teaches you more about animal behaviour and welfare. Qualified lectures give insight to the true meaning of welfare and behaviour and help us detach from the believe that animals feel the way we do.

More than amazing ..

The lecturers are excellent, they explain in a wonderful and uncomplicated way, the videos have provided useful information about the course in an easy way, as if you were really with them at the locations.

I highly recommend it.

I have learned so much about animal welfare issues that I'm better able to articulate my own thoughts and perspectives on it. I've also used what I've learned to create a philosophical framework for my pet sitting business.

I enjoyed this course for it provides clarity and insights on Animal Behaviour and Welfare.

This helped to address my learning gaps and strengthen my knowledge and skills when working with animals.

Great job!

I am not good talking or writing English but I simply get ıt the basic logic Thank you for doing like this Maybe I would like to be an academician like valuable teachers in this school in the future.

Extremely beneficial to anybody who wants to have their questions about animal welfare answered! I have learned so much and wish to use this knowledge to improve the welfare of animals.

I've learned a lot from this course. I strongly recommend anyone interested in animal welfare and behaviour spend some time taking this course!

Very informative and well written course that is engaging and straightforward to follow. Can highly recommend to anyone with an inter

I learned a lot of great information. Well done to my teachers, and thankyou!!!! Usha Valerie Grace Bailey

Well designed, insightful, comprehensive. A great introduction into animal behaviour!

Very informative and comprehensive

well labeled and taught course

Fantastic

very long and same information is restated each week. basic knowledge of animal welfare allows you to complete tests without reading the information

I learned a lot but I think this course should have been more challenging as far as the quizzes go... :(

Maybe valuable for someone who doesn't know much about animals.

not challenging enough

Interesting topics, and some good information presented on a variety of issues for many animals and situations. However, presented info is often vague and generalized, some sections discuss very little scientific data to back up claims made, and course is generally not very rigorous or challenging.

Not very useful. Somehow general.

*No Stars*

Another boring animal class that I would not recommend. The teachers do seem nice and well educated however it is still too boring and slow for me.

this course was free now a days, but now demanding 49 dollars.............very poor..............

Video's have no sound

Hello, I am Mohammad Amin. I live in Iran. The economic situation of my country is not good. I need to participate in this course to strengthen my resume. I am going to study at a European university. I love veterinary medicine. Please help me so that I can help animals and be a useful human being. The cost of obtaining this degree is high in my country. We make money with difficulty. My father is a worker and he wants me to be a veterinarian. Receiving a degree in this course helps me to study veterinary medicine at a European university. Please accept my request. I have to get this degree. I'm not rich, but with this degree I can be a better human being to serve animals. May God support you. Thanks to the good Coursera team. I hope I can repay your kindness. i love coursera. i love Edinburgh. i love Veterinary

This course gave me a lot of things to think about. For example, the stereotypies exhibited by animals that have had negative experiences reminded me of how some people with autism display stereotypies in their response to sensory stimulation (either hyporeactivity or hyper-reactivity). That might be an interesting thing to explore neurologically, but I know very little about neurology, so hopefully a specialist somewhere will make the connection. Also, I have eleven indoor cats that I believe are in need of more interaction from me and mental stimulation in their environment. I need to work on this. They are all safe from the crazy drivers where I live, but I want them to have fulfilling lives. I guess that's my conundrum: How do my husband and I work and keep my cats happy at the same time?

Considero que es un curso muy acertado y considerablemente informativo donde la persona que lo toma es capaz de comprender los criterios básicos y generales de bienestar animal incluso como algo complejo.

Con este curso realmente se abre paso a la comprensión de los animales como lo que son; animales, y que en su desarrollo necesitan diversos bienes o recursos que deben ser brindados de la mejor manera para minimizar todos los daños físicos y psicológicos posibles.

Un curso bastante bueno para nosotros los amantes e interesados por los animales. Es importante reconocer que los fallos en el desarrollo de un buen bienestar para el animal son problemáticas aún por resolver.

¡Gracias por darnos la oportunidad de aprender! Bastante motivador a decir verdad. Dios los bendiga.
