Learner Reviews & Feedback for Dog Emotion and Cognition by Duke University

This course was really interesting and has taught me a lot. However the first few weeks were not as focused on dogs, they tended to be more about apes and humans and evoution.

An ideally inclusive offering for you and your companion to explore at home. In-depth evolutionary theory for you, and the toolkit to test the theories with your friend

I learned about dogs only on the latter week 6 -8. wish you could've went with that. The history was okay but it was too dragging for me.

I have learnt some basic knowledge about dog's congnition. It may be more interesting if I have a dog to take part in these experments.

Didn't really learn about Dog emotions until week 7&8 out of 8 weeks, the first couple of weeks were talking about other animals.

The course could have been a little more precise. Video lectures could have been more direct. Would have saved a lot of time.

Subject matter is very interesting, but the instructor saying um and uhh way too much was very distracting and annoying.

Too much info about evolution and apes etc, not enough with dogs. Good teacher, but not as helpful as I'd hoped.

Interesting insights into human interactions with dogs. I just could not finish the entire class.

Compared to the other courses, this one is kind of boring, but learned some origination of dogs :)

Too many gestures, movements and ahhhs, slides available but not downloadable (what's the point?).

this program is really used full to me. i was learning so new type of things to tech my dog.

The instructor advertised his book and website so much that it took away from the content.

too detailed, too much information to process but the lecturer was actually pretty fun.

En general está ok! pero siento que muchas clases son bastante repetitivas.

Wasn't my favorite but I enjoyed some of it.

Fun course!

I think it is a bit complicated to those who have no basic knowledge in this discipline some professional terms are hard to understand even with definition because words are to difficult and rarely seen in daily life and the mode of conducting the lecture I would say is quite boring and passive as the lecturer is just standing still to read script and show powerpoints it is not good to detonate knowledge and for us to really get deep to it I would recommend more experiment video or illustration to make this funnier and rise our intention to learn dogs should be a topic contains loads of fun and is not supposed to be this informatively boring

videos are terribly boring.... lectures are very uneven in information and interest. Reading material is worthless. The idea of the course is good, but this one needs a lot more work for me to spend my valuable time on it.

This is basically an as for the instructor's book and a website called dognition. And it's a bad ad...

I find this course redundant and useless. You can simply learn how to train your dog without having to take a course. You simply feed and training a dog not to bark, obey commands and obey verbal commands with some authority as dogs have a pack mentality. You do not need a course to learn this!

He advertised his book and game A LOT. Either give it to your students, require it for the class, or suggest/plug it a couple times and drop it

Videos kept cutting out either entirely or the sound would cut out. Made it very difficult to follow.

The course is not interesting. A lot of nothing was talked.

I didnt got realy much from the course.

The professor talks too much about the website and his book! That doesn't make any sense!
