TOP REVIEWS FROM BUGS 101: INSECT-HUMAN INTERACTIONS
Excellent course! Content-rich and very informative both as a learning experience for the insect enthusiast or beginning entomologist as well as an excellent review for the practicing entomologist.
Fantastic! Very insightful and engaging course. I highly recommend it would be a useful course for anyone in any given field or with little to no knowledge of arthropods and insects.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt that it was really well executed. I would consider taking other courses. The lecturers were knowledgeable and articulate. Excellent--Thank you
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
