I have enjoyed this course so much..i enjoy studying animal behavior, ,mainly their natural behavior and how all we can improve their welfare according to which environment they are living in. I got to know a lot more about pets , captive animals, which I thought I knew earlier which was actually nothing compared to the information that I got through this course. I thank all my Teachers who taught and visually represented everything in detail.

This is a very good course, but unless u have some background or work in animal fields, u will find it's a little bit difficult to understand or hard to have a true feeling about what's it talking about. Actually animal welfare is a very big subject and needs long term improvement. This course needs u spend more time after class to learn and read, hope everybody enjoy it! Thank you to the trainer team to bring us such a wonderful course!

I'm about to start studying biology with an emphasis in zoology and this course was a great start! The professors were all incredibly helpful and explained everything very well. The quizzes were challenging without being stressful. I live in the States, so taking a class on animal welfare from another country really helped to expand my perspective, since I'll most likely be learning from a very US-centric perspective from here on out.

Wonderful course about animal welfare issues today and how to improve our their well-being. I have always been interested in animals and I thought I knew a lot about them. This course provided a lot of objective information about the experiences of all different species. There's still a lot to learn, but I will be recommending this course to anyone interested in understanding a little more than the basics about the welfare of animals.

Curso maravilhoso, aborda temas muito importantes a cerca de toda vida animal, a importância de se reconhecer que independente da espécie todo tipo de vida merece ter um Bem-Estar garantido e que forneça uma vida digna, mostra muitos valores que são enraizados pelo comportamento humano, demonstra estudos e vÃdeos de muita significância para a área da Medicina Veterinária para melhor compreender os comportamentos dos animais.

I must say that this is a very interesting and compelling mini course about the introduction of animal welfare problems. I had a very good time studying issues and little bit of insight regarding not just companion animals, but also farm/production animals, and even zoo/wild animal's needs. I'm looking forward if there's another course that offers more in-depth regarding animal behaviour and welfare from this university.

Hello everyone, Im Jeff Joseph and I'm proud to say that i've been a part of this wondeful team. I cannot thank you enough for giving me an opportunity to complete this course and sharp my knowledge.
I highly recommend this couse for each animal lover and those who have a keen interest in animals. Believe me this couse will give you new ways of approach animals and keeping the animals interest over your judgement.

Thank you for providing this affordable course, it has inspired me to do further work in the animal behaviour and welfare field, especially in connection with production animals! I recently obtained a BSc in Animal Science, but was feeling rather confused as to where I wanted to go with this qualification. This course has been refreshing and I'm excited to see what can be done in the future.
Warm regards

This course taught me a lot and gave me so many things to think about. Some of the videos weren't the easiest to watch, however, I appreciate the professors putting them out there as it is a thing I believe was needed to see in order to get the full view of how some things are. I would love to stop by the university and meet them in person. Definitely a course that was well worth my time. Thank you!

I enjoyed this course greatly because it was content dense, delivered at a great pace, slides were uncluttered and easy to follow. additional information was provided that was relevant and informative. Some aspects were hard to watch [little bear calling for mum] but that is the nature of the topic. Identifying stressors and how to reduce them. Would be great if all MOOC's were as well put together.

This course is exceptionally well-created and covered many different aspects of this topic. The content was easy to understand, the instructors and interviewees were knowledgeable in their respective fields and gave many insights, and the quizzes were sufficiently challenging. Many additional readings are also available for those who want to learn more in-depth. I thoroughly enjoyed this course!

Very grateful for this course and all the information that I learnt. Animal welfare is a difficult subject since I'm vegan and an animal advocate, but it was very important to learn all these things to be a better voice for the animals. I really enjoyed weekly hangouts even though they weren't live - still a lot of insignts and useful information. I love all the teachers, thank you so much!

I can't explain how much I enjoyed this course. It's content and resources were so easily accessible and easy to understand. I am just new into the Animal industry so this was a perfect way into it. The passion the lecturers had was so plain to see and I loved that. I makes me want more.
I am so happy I did this. So happy, I want to enrol on another MOOC :)
THANKS EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY <3

This course was very interesting, insightful and often surprising. It was fascinating to learn how much the welfare challenges depend on the species and the individual circumstances and to see how different research approaches are used to identify those challenges and improve animal's living conditions. Thanks to the team for this engaging introduction to a complex topic!

Cours très intéressants. J'ai appris énormément de choses sur le bien-être animal tant au niveau des animaux de compagnie, que des animaux sauvages élevés en captivité ou des animaux élevés pour la nourriture. Bien que les cours soient sous-titrés en français, les questionnaires sont en anglais, il peut donc être difficile de répondre correctement à toutes les questions.

Thank you so for such an informative, enlightening, and thought provoking Animal Behavior and Welfare course. All the instructors are very engaging in their respective modules. I have gained what I feel is a great and encouraging starting point to continue learning about the scientific study of animal behavior and welfare, the findings, and positive results produced.

Very interesting, I came here hoping to know more about companion animals, now I even have more awareness about animals that are for human consumption and the ethical handling of their slaughter. Now I can assure you that this is a career that I would like to study and contribute to animal welfare in the future. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers in this course.

I enjoyed this course very much. The calibre of the course teaching resources is first-rate, and the lecturers were engaging, absorbing and clearly passionate about their areas of expertise. I'd highly recommend this short course to anyone who's interesting in learning more about the welfare of animals in the EU and other countries today. Well done to all concerned.

Curso muy bueno, entendible. Me ayudo considerablemente a tener una mejor perspectiva del bienestar animal, a ver ciertos errores que solemos cometer al tratar a los animales bajo perspectivas netamente humanas.
Recomiendo este curso totalmente, profesoras muy buenas y expertas en el tema, las clases llenas de contenido y material audiovisual, los subtÃtulos bien.

I have learned a lot about the research performed related to animal welfare and I have new perspectives of what it is needed to be improved, not based on my beliefs, feelings or point of view, but from the animals' perspective and needs to have a better welfare. I am so exited to be able to learn more about this topic and someday work somewhere I can apply it.

As you know, getting to know animals' behavior and their needs is very important. This course teaches you the behavior of a wide range of animals such as poultry, cows, sheep, horses, dogs, cats, and zoo animals. One of the complete animal behavior courses with excellent professors and various high-quality educational videos provides you with this knowledge.

I appreciate all the efforts that went into making this course for us. I learnt new ways of helping animals thanks toy you all. Thank you so very much <3
