TOP REVIEWS FROM PALEONTOLOGY: THEROPOD DINOSAURS AND THE ORIGIN OF BIRDS
It's an amazing course, I'm an independent filmmaker in Mexico, and it's been of great help as a reference while I'm writing a feature film screenplay about dinosaurs.
This course was packed full of interesting information. The only thing i would change is the length of individual classes. This could easily have been a 10 week course.
I found the material intereting and presentation easy to follow. The amount of material presented is alot. However, with the focus on development and progression of traits it was not overhelming.
I loved taking this course. I learned a lot (The first course I did was DINO 101 and I wanted to dig deeper). The teachers are really passionate and engaging. Cannot wait to do the others courses!
