Read MoreThis was truly an excellent course. I have been an educator in the public school system for 29 years and I found this course to be very interesting, engaging and clear. The split screen format with the lecture in one part of the screen and the PPT slide on the other was very helpful. The frequent video clips that are inserted throughout reinforce the concepts quite well and it was fabulous to have so many different species of animals represented. I also appreciate your great sense of humor Dr. Zeligs!
