I definitely have some Pro’s and Con’s with this course. First the con’s, I signed up to the course on the 25th of March, after the course stated that I could do this at my own pace I was eager to start, however after paying for the course to ensure I got the certificate at the end I was met with course deadlines, this meant that if quizzes weren’t submitted on time then I would not get a grade and therefore not achieve a certificate, (I may be wrong but this is what I got from what I read and understood, and what Coursera support implied via email). This is how the course outlined for me: Module 2 & 3 quizzes had to be completed on 30th of March, Module 4 quiz on April 4th, and Module 5 & 6 to be completed on April 6th. This meant that at the times I had to submit two modules by a certain date, I would rush studying and feel exhausted after doing both quizzes, which really stressed me out. This course is definitely NOT a do in your own time, not unless you don’t care about getting grades or certificates. When I had issues, I turned to the forum to ask for help from mentors and teachers, I have finished the course now and my question has still be unanswered, which is very frustrating, as the course is still active I would expect mentors and teachers to respond at least up to 24hours after something is asked in the forum. Quizzes are challenging (which is a pro for me) but you can refer to notes, which felt as though I was cheating, so I would put all my notes aside when doing the quiz. If you have to reattempt a quiz, all the questions are the same and so are all the answers, and even though quizzes can’t be attempted again until 8 hours, you could easily write down all the questions you got wrong and then when you retake you can ace all the questions that way, which makes it feel like you are being spoon fed the information rather than being quizzed on what you actually remember from paying attention. Another thing is NONE of the interactive lessons work in the additional reading, as far as I’m aware after doing digging from previous forum posts, they know it doesn’t work but just haven’t really seemed to do anything about it? There are still PDF’s to download, but it was disappointing I couldn’t answer questions and interact with additional material and could only read about it. One last Con I want to add is trying to find the coursera help email, maybe I was silly, but that email took me days to find, so if you ever need help here is the email address: support@coursera.org Pro’s, I would say that this course is very informative, I learnt lot of new things and came away with a better understanding of welfare terminology and more knowledge under my belt. If none of the above negatives deter you and you like the thrill of being under pressure with your deadlines and work, then this will be perfect for some people. I still have a lot of material I had to skip when my quiz deadlines got close, but luckily I can go back and re watch and read things in my own time now, as I do feel like my mind was so crammed with everything I had to learn in the short span of time, not even when I was at University did I get such short spanning deadline dates for multiple modules.

This course was in part interesting and in part quite uninteresting. I would have liked to see more natural way of lecturing, it mostly felt very technical and automatic. If you have seen the videos, you know what I mean. I also find that week 5 about cows, pigs and chickens might cause someone to become vegetarian or vegan, as some actions and conditions that are considered to be "normal", (for me) definitely don't seem that. Overall the course got more interesting in the last weeks.

I loved the background of each video more than I loved the lectures to be honest. I felt like if you could explain the videos a bit more detailed it'd be easier for people like me to properly understand the course whose first language isn't English. But overall I loved the view in every video. Looking forward to see more courses about animals in the future!

I feel very fortunate enough to get enrolled in this course and i am much satisfied with the information provided by the talented professors concerned with both large and small animals. Being a graduated veterinarian i have got to learn a lot about animal behavior, ethics and relationship of animals and humans.

quizzes at the end of each module. all the questions are 1 mark, the questions that have multiple answer were also 1 mark so if 1 answer was mist, 0 mark would be rewarded even if the others are correct

Es muy interesante el contenido y los artículos adicionales a ellos. Lo único malo es que no todos los vídeos tiene los subtitulos al español y es algo molesto eso. Fuera de eso el curso muy bien.
