I don't think that peer-review assignments ought to weigh on our grades, as I have encountered peers not testing my reference links or actually reading submissions which ended up resulting in a non-passing score.

Leslie Irvine was an excellent teacher. Even though the classes were short, the information was detailed and I learned a lot of different aspects of the animals sorrounding our current society that I had never considered before.

This specialization covers interation between ourselves as a human and other species.It will challenge your thinking and beliefs. Well worth taking even if it is not in your normal area of interest.

Awesome course! Learned a lot. Very interesting and easy to learn from. Educational. I am studying to be a vet tech and this will be a valuable course on my resume.

very informative and highly reccomended for anyone in the field of human and animals dyad.

very useful to understand about animals.

Easy to follow and understand.

Excellent, thank you.

love the instructor!

This course provides a lot of examples regarding human and animal relationships. It also encourages us to question the philosophical, psychological, and moral implications regarding human-animal interactions along with racialization and genderization of animals.

Very good content, but the lecturer just reads everything throughout the whole course, there is no graphic or visual explanation and the content becomes hard to digest.

Need Graphics, & Pictures in Lecture

I am really sad that I have to give such a low rating, but unfortunately I cannot give more stars to this course.

The videos had a serous lack of visual aids, and the fact that the professor simply read a text made sitting through the videos unbearable. I think it was unprofessional to read the text verbatim, instead she could have made notes and based on those she could have delivered the lectures free style. Or at least she could have made an attempt to be a bit less monotone while reading.

If any changes are to be made I recommend minimalising the video of the professor and putting presentation slides in the background that have the main points of the lecture and some pictures to make them more memorable. They don't have to be fancy, a simple Power Point presentation would suffice.

I also found the material of the course too simple, even though I didn't posses much prior knowledge. I will not be taking the next course in this specialisation.

I have completed 100% of course but still not getting my certificate.

The course was excellent! I better understand how animals function as symbols and metaphors in media, contributing to cultural and social narratives. It also comprehensively examined the psychological impacts of human-animal interactions. One of my favourite elements from this experience is that this program offered an evidence-based perspective on animals' roles in our cultural frameworks and well-being.

O curso em si é ótimo, só a participação dos outros alunos que deixa a desejar, não tem quase nenhuma resposta opcional dos outros alunos e no fórum pelo que vi não tem muitos respostas as perguntas, só preciso que alguém corrija minha resposta para conseguir o certificado, espero que seja logo!

Ótima professora e didática, conteúdo interessante e perguntas cabíveis. Recomendo

This course looks into a completely new dimension of interlinkage between animals and society which makes it completely a new sphere in my knowledge domain. Thanks for such a great and fun learning experience

A really great course, easy to follow lectures and great information! I had a really fun time with it, and the peer graded assignment really solidified what I had learnt. I definitely recommend! :)

Lots of videos make it an easy to pass course that packs a lot of information. Requires a bit of writing skill, as there is one multiparagraph writing assignment that is peer graded.

Excellent course on human-animal relationships. The assigned tasks are manageable and invite the learner to apply the information taught in the course to their surroundings.

Ofrece conocimientos muy completos referentes al tema de estudio y datos importantes para aumentar los debates referentes a temas de interes.

It's a very nice, full of information course. I think everyone should lay an eye on this course and learn critical information about animals.

I got ever best learning. Thank you, Coursera, and thank you university of colorado

Excellent course. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of very good information!!

I really liked this course, well explained and easy to understand
