It is so indian centric, even though I though it might give me great different perspective Ifeel that it is just a statistical facts about indian economy and envrinment
The course covers important sustainability concepts, but the overall delivery could be improved. Much of the content consists of instructors reading directly from the presentation slides rather than providing deeper explanations or real-world examples. Additionally, many of the videos are highly repetitive. The same terminology and concepts are introduced multiple times across different lectures, often with only a small amount of new information. Instead of creating separate videos, these minor additions could have been incorporated into the original lesson to make the course more concise and engaging. I also noticed that two videos appear to be duplicates, which makes the course feel less organized and unnecessarily lengthens the learning experience. Another issue is that the narration sometimes changes voices in the middle of a presentation without any clear reason. This abrupt change can be distracting and interrupts the flow of the lecture. Overall, the course contains valuable information, but it would benefit from better editing, less repetition, more practical examples, and more engaging instruction. Improving the organization, removing duplicate content, and maintaining consistent narration would make the learning experience more efficient and enjoyable.
Very hard to understand instructors.
