Very much enjoyed the lectures, diagrams and information provided. Thank you so much for introducing me to such an interesting subject. Very much appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience on this course. Notes and videos clear and concise, well put together, as expected from University of Alberta.

Excellent course and good depth for beginners with some general biology background. Hope they continue it for entire evolution of vertebrates. Fantastic. A

This is perhaps the best and most enjoyable course that I have ever taken in Paleontology , I also learned a lot and will always treasure the experience !

Everything you need!

This is the first of a great series - first-class lecture notes, well illustrated lectures and plenty of links to further study.

it is good for maths students who haven't studied biology and struggle with understanding palaeontology. vertebrates have been explained very well.

Excellent course, presentation, presenter, and material. Hope to see if other subjects of the Palaeozoic would be covered in future courses

An excellent presentation of paleontology by W. Scott Persons. A very amazing journey through the Devonian fishes that evolved to tetrapods.

A fairly accessible course to vertebrate evolution that thought me a lot about parts of my body and ancestry that I had taken for granted.

Fascinating glimpse through prehistory of early vertebrate evolution. Many terms to learn, many details to absorb, and all captivating.

Very informative information on the vertebrae evolution. I feel so much better now knowing Im a living tetrapod and I came from a fish,

Beautifully made. A new insight of nature. Awesome to see, listen, think about and recognize development of evolution in todays species.

Tanto eu, quanto minha criança interior amamos paleontologia e tudo relacionado a ela, então este curso caiu como uma luva para mim.

The course was concise because you learn the major charecteristics of the groups of fishes and how they evolved into another group.

excelente! creo que nunca había comprendido realmente la evolución, fue una experiencia maravillosa, interactiva y bien explicada.

Maravillosamente instructivo e interesante. He disfrutado todo el MOOC por la gran cantidad de información y muy buenas lecciones

Really informative, I recommend doing further reading

and writing things down/taking notes rather than just watching the videos.

Excellent course, i learnt a lot about evolution and how life began on Earth..... Thank you University of Alberta and Coursera

- I learned about the evolution of fins with legs- The development of jaws-I knew the past of vertebratesThank you so much!!

A good overview of a fascinating subject. Well presented. Many thanks to all involved in making this course available.

This is great! I have learned so much. I can even use the concepts I learned to teach Comparative Anatomy. Thanks a lot.

Muchas gracias, aprendi mucho, y aplicare en diferentes actividades que tendre como docente lo aprendido en este curso.

I enjoyed taking this course! In particular the Week 2 & 3 topics both caught my eye and I found them very interesting!

Very informative. Manages to old onto the student's attention throughout the course. Would highly recommend to peers.
