Even as a dinosaur nerd, I still learned a lot. Instructional videos with embedded quizzes were very well constructed. I'm just a bit bummed that I couldn't access the fossil viewer for some reason.

Thank you for this excellent course! I really enjoyed the short videos, the concise notes, and quick quizzes (both at the end of each lesson, as well as the main point quizzes throughout the videos).

I enjoyed this course very much. I do believe that some of the subtitles need to be translated again due to errors.

I feel that I should have endeavored to follow paleontology as a career instead of a career in the armed forces.
