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.

Very informative and well put forth. Would have enjoyed a little more science to balance out the ethics. Farm animal week was very interesting and the most enjoyable and informative in my opinion.
