Clear explanations and well-thought-out examples make the course simple to follow and well-organized. I appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking—learning to identify bias, examine sources, and recognize that science is continuously changing.

Thanks for the tutor's inspiration. This course is so useful.

Интересный курс, спасибо

Very useful :)

Amazing course

Fantastic.

I would have liked to have given a review to the Biology Everywhere specialization as a whole, but I haven't seen where to do that, so I'll leave me general thoughts here. I thought the professor's videos were very good and I feel like the courses gave me a decent background in how biology is important in the world around us. I was looking for more of what you might find in an intro to biology class, because I was trying to decide if I wanted to enroll at a local college and get a sense if I thought I would enjoy it. I don't think this specialization really did that, but I found it valuable nonetheless. I had a couple of specific issues with individual courses, which I noted in the individual course reviews. The thing that I really hated across all courses, and the reason I didn't give more than 4 stars for any course, were the peer-reviewed assignments. For every assignment, I submitted 3-point quality work, without question. But there were a couple of instances where I was given lower scores and had to resubmit (note that I submitted the exact same work and received 3 points the next time). If someone gives a lower grade than 3, they should be required to provide feedback as to why. Also, I managed to finish the specialization within a month, but because I was waiting for peer review feedback, I ended up having to pay for a second month while I just sat around waiting. I don't know if there's a better system, but I was really not a fan of this one.

I was expecting something different from this course… I really enjoyed the first part, which connects painting, photography, and music with Biology, but after the halfway point it changes topic a lot. It also disappointed me that there was no coherence between the task instructions (very brief) and the evaluation rubrics (very long and not fully aligned with them).
