•The course is very rich in information, I have acquired broad elements to understand better the ocean dynamics, processes that are involved and the consequences caused by them. Sometimes I was a bit confused, I think the explanations were very good but sometimes not so clear.
As a Paleoceanography student definitely recommend this course to people who have already a bit background in the topic!

•It was a good overview of oceanography. The complexity and helpfulness of the course materials and videos vary immensely. Some translations and video subtitles in English are incomprehensible, intermediate Spanish skills helped me a lot. Generally, I recommend the course, but be prepared to struggle with languages.

•Good course, but hard to follow. The quizzes tend to focus on details not emphasized in the lectures, and I would have liked more in the way of geological features and processes of the ocean, though what content there was was good.
By Parvathy S
•The course does say that you don't require prior knowledge about the field to learn about Oceanography but you need a strong understanding in physical and mathematic aspects of science in order to truly study the ocean.

By Colin T
•I found the presentations difficult to follow due to a mix of languages being used.
By Trevor L
•Difficult to see the images and not all lectures had supporting pdf downloads.
Translation to English was mediocre at best – leading to some confusion wrt complex topics
(lucky I have intermediate Spanish skills)
Course seemed somewhat disconnected and varied erratically wrt level of abstraction vs detail
By Jonathan G
•This was to math heavy and could've easily been called Marine biology. However, the course content and the quizzes did not correlate with each other. The quizzes have nothing to do with the course.
