Great content and Dr Sachs a great lecturer. Some questions on tests need updating as websites used for course materials have more up-to-date data that is not always reflected in the questions.

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.

Excelente curso, solo que deben actualizar links de páginas que salen error y los Objetivos del milenio ya no son los mismos con los ODS actuales.

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.

The course is 12-13 years old and many charts and links no longer work, for the quiz. Also, the data is obviously outdated and that is a pity.

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.
