Very informative and detailed. Prof. Sachs covers all aspects of sustainable development in detail. Though the course was designed in 2013 hence does not cover the latest development to SDGs to date.

Some statistics needs to be updated based on latest data, Links to the assignments are not working or not updated to the new link and needs to be aligned but overall the course is highly recommended!

it was very interesting, I learned many new things and got insights into valuable information. It should be updated, though, because many links in quizzes do not work.

Muy buen curso, entrega lo que ofrece y Jeffrey Sacks explica muy bien. El único problema son los quiz, traen links que no funcionan y hay respuestas que están mal.

A great overview of a very complicated topic. Dr. Sachs does a great job presenting the information in easily digestible bits but still keeps it interesting.

Great course but some of the content needs to be updated to include recent events since Environmental Science is such a fast-changing field at the moment.

Very interesting and eye opening. On the tests many numerical responses were not consistent with the date available and many of the links were broken.

Good lectures, quizzes need to be updated with new links. Learned a lot from the professor, overall digital quizzes and exams had problems only.

Very informative and interesting. The links to various sources in the tests are not up to date though and make it difficult to get a 100% score.

A great introduction course to development studies. Would be great if the materials could be updated to the current post COVID19 pandemic time.

Very Interesting and helpful. It's a way to open our mind and definitely something that everyone should know about before it is too late.

In this course there is a lot of valuable information, well prepared lessons and readings. I would try to make quizzes more complicated.

Unfortunately, I am missing more normative approach, advises in sense of reduced individual consumption in terms of food and traveling.

The content is good. The delivery of lectures can be more engaging, with aid of visuals to illustrate and emphasize important concepts.

Links to charts/graphs need to be renewed as some don't work any longer and makes it difficult to complete quizzes.
