Good
This has opened my mind to things that we take for granted everyday. That has been a good learning lesson for me.
Educational
Things I didn’t know which are pretty easy to follow
Bolsters existing knowledge with some in
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Lots of being talked at, very basic
Lots of being talked at and set at very basic level. The test was set at very low level I would be upset if anybody couldn't get over 50% without taking the course in this day and age.
Very well presented
Very well explained and interesting to listen to – importantly it clearly got the right message across.
It does go on….and on…….and on
All good points but it is so slow it is hard to keep attention
Rather superficial
Nothing really groundbreaking. Avoided some serious stuff like the overpopulation. The 'Facts' presented were more irritating than useful. What does it mean that the energy to make a glass bottle would power a light bulb for x (I've already forgotten) years? Don't the authors know that there is no single 'light bulb'. Energy consumption varies extremely widely (almost orders of magnitude differences) depending on the illumination used and technology. Are we talking incandescent, LED, halogen or some other technology? This was one 'fact' that it really doesn't pay to remember.
Easy to understand and very helpful.
I really enjoyed the training, simple to follow instructions and information test at the end of each topic.
factual errors
The "butterfly effect" is a metaphoric description of sensitive dependence on initial conditions, see e.g. the Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect . It is therefore not correct to use it as a vehicle to describe that small individual changes can add up. Also, it is not correct to suggest that climate change can cause tsunamis. (Did you mean storm surges?)
Extremely Informative thoroughly enjoyed
I enjoyed very much the delivery mechanism used, breaking down into shot enjoyable videos, excellent.
