Great course, but hard to get through the animal slaughter videos (as a vegan). Also, some things are naturally outdated since the course was made a decade ago.

HI DEAR LEARNERS,

IT'S THE BEST COURSE FOR BEGINNERS.

THE BEST THING I LEARNED I WOULD LIKE TO QUOTE IS;

"NOT TO IMPOSE YOUR FEELINGS ON AN ANIMAL."

THANKS COURSERA
