What a phenomenally educational and extremely informational course! It's incredible to me that it was offered for free, but having finished it all the way through, I have a much better understanding as to why. These six-legged (and sometimes so many more legged) crawlies are more crucial and critical to all ecosystems than any of us really ever come to know. I'm only taking a single star away as the course's intro stated it would be stretched over the course of five weeks, yet the schedule for all the modules was shrunk into three. I had to bail on taking handwritten notes after module 7 because my index and middle fingers and knuckles were in too much pain. If you're going to advertise it on the website as a five week course, please follow through on that. Otherwise, this was amazing and proved to me that my burgeoning passion towards entomology is not a fleeting dance and is very well worth pursuing. Thank you all so very much for your hard work!

i thoroughly enjoyed this course. Very well done!!! I can see from the acknowledgements that many people were involved. Great content. I learned much even though I am a Board Certified Entomologist. in Urban Entomology. it is a vast subject of course.

i can only suggest for improvement that the clothing worn by one of the presenters seemed inappropriate to me. A bit distracting. Perhaps the producers should look at some standards of attire. It's not that there is an expectation of formal dress but perhaps a bit of reflection on attire could help.

one has to imagine the kind of values put on presentation in other educational programs.

Notwithstanding, this was a truly excellent course. Thank you very much. Sam

I'm in grade 7 and I followed along the course, I hit some bumps and at some points I was kind of boring, but I am very happy that I did the course. I've learned so much and by far my favorite module has to be about the bees! So the next time I dissect a beetle I'm sure to know what's inside!

A course like this is hard to come by! The course is informative, and I have learnt a great deal about insect human relations and entomology.

Course are comprehension and organised.

Definately recommended for those who wants to understand more in depth about arthropods!

Very well designed course. Presenters and discussions give a very good overview for a person like me who has very little knowledge on insects. This should be given to general public, to get a better understanding about the role of insects in the ecosystem.

This course is great for a beginner who knows nothing about bugs, especially if their view is negative. I enjoyed the fact that the course covered a wide range of aspects about bugs and how they interact with human everyday living.

This course was very well composed. Each lecturer was very concise and well-spoken. I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures, the interviews and the visual materials. I would recommend this course to others.

Each teaching video should be maximum up to 10 minutes to keep the focus of the students. This is according to the instructional design principles.

Videos that last to long are tiresome

This was a great start to learning about insects. I got given a basic overview of all topics. Maybe you can have a part 2 on insect identification and research.

I work on pollination ecology and pollinator entomology and loved this amazing journey through out the insect world! Thank you for your amazing work!

add more detail on the IPM especially on the agriculture related application of degree days to project potential insect pest incidence.

More quizzes during the videos would help. I did learn a lot I didn't know and have a greater appreciation for insects now

I learned so much about different insect species and how insects impact the envionment. I'm glad I took the course.

great course. the content can be a bit dry and delivered quickly, but it was a great learning experience!

Wow. What a journey. I hope there would be more online quizzes other than just multiple choice.

Good overall aspects of insects but some of the information is difficult to understand

The ILO for IPM was not fully playable. However, overall this a good course.

Great course on insects, one of the best MOOC courses I have taken.

A lot of the information could have been condensed.

Great program. Flexible and easy to understand.

Very informative, although boring at times.

It was really amazing and fascinating.

good need more some improvements

good content, well presented
