TOP REVIEWS FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
It was highly informational for a person not familiar with waste management and looking to work in this area at the research level. The videos, slides and reading material were prepared well.
Best course I have ever enrolled in on coursera. This course contains excellent contents which are made with dedications. I am also glad to learn from a case study on my country, Bangladesh.
This course really open my mind to infinite possibilities and gave me a lot of knowledge and consciousness. Thank you very much for the opportunity and the high performance of the Teachers.
This has provided technical knowledge on waste management for developing countries. It would be great for this to broaden discussion on plastic waste management as this is a growing topic. Thank you!
