Excellent broad content. Ideal for the learner or someone wanting to get to grips with the basics.
Very interesting course, efficiently delivered. Some of the quiz questions were more tricky than helpful, but overall, a worthwhile course and good introduction to Earth's climate.
This is very interesting and a lot of great information to help improve and balance out how we understand our earth and it's history.
It was a really really informative course for anyone who would like to know about The planet Earth.
