Watched this course with my 9-year-old son who wants to be paleontologist when he grows up. He loved it and did it mainly for him!

I completed the course and enjoyed it but did not get my certificate. The link provided did not lead to the certificate :(
very helpful as it is very difficult to learn Dinosaur (for adults) in a systematic way, especially from evolution aspects.

el curso es completo aunque hay cosas que han cambiado por investigación pero se entiende la antiguedad de los videos
