This course was a delightful introduction to geology and I've come away knowing so much more about our planet and it's origin. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the geosciences.

Loved this course! The study time was much more than indicated, but the course provided a comprehensive look at Earth systems. Highly recommend. Thank you to all the instructors.
