TOP REVIEWS FROM THE AGE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
I love the pace of the professor and the information in this course. However many of the links lead to nonexistent pages and need to updated. It makes completing the quizzes and exams much harder.
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.
I learnt the true meaning of sustainable development across the 3 dimensions of People, Planet and Profit. Highly enriching and insightful. Kudos to Prof Sachs to make the course so engaging.
The course is really helpful to understand the sustainable development and challenges the world is facing is explained in very systematic manner. the statistical representations were very helpful.
