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.

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.

Lots of fun and I learned a lot. However, I was never able to get the fossil viewer working, which was a great shame. Thank you to the team of Dino 101.

Very interesting course, sometimes there was too much information but it proved that this course is complete and from very clever sources.

Most of the question segments in between the video did not show the images that were shown, making it difficult to answer some of them

Algunos capitulos fueron mucho mas densos que otros, y me hubiese sido mas facil aprender si hubiesen estado dosificados mejor

The first part is far more interesting than the second one. A good MOOC, not too hard, but still serious and full of notions.

very interesting course. A bit heavy on scientific

names for dinosaurs, but I Suppose that’s to be expected.

The videos are entertaining but if the pdf is read through, its simple enough to take and pass the quiz.
