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).

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.

Excellent course. I would place the script to the right of the video to read it while listening to it. There are some naming errors in the script, particularly in lesson 12.

This is an easy and fantastic overview or where dinosaurs came from, what they might have looked like, and what happened to them. It's well produced and I deeply enjoyed it.
