Very informative course, although it is sometimes painful to read as they cover ethical issues and the sad reality of slaughter. However, I found it very well covered, as a vegetarian, this course strengthened my beliefs
extremely informative and helpful, very straightforward to understand
Exceptional- I am even applying to do the masters offered at the university.
