I had been struggling to get a hold of relevant materials for reference, and this course really helped me rejuvenate my knowledge about evolutionary science.

This was not that good a course. It should have had more information about Darwin. I would have liked to know more. Using links to other courses was not fun or easy to do because I had to keep reloading and trying to save stuff.
