global warming
I am an environmental engineer from Colombia and I wish to complement the updated technical information for the topic of global warming This course is so helpful and well prepared to aid easy laerning.
Excellent introduction to the mechanics of global warming.
I have been involved peripherally around issues related to global warming, but I thought that this course would be informative by bringing together many strands.
This lecture give me a deep insight for greenhouse effect and global warming with nice scientific tools and models.
Its a very good course for students interested in learning all about Global warming and its impacts Eye opening course, interesting content easily explained concepts and fantastic practice materials.
A very approachable introduction to climate science and the dangers of global warming from respected ocean chemist Prof. David Archer.
Fabulous overview of the science of global warming!
Very good course to understand the connections between temperature, greenhouse gases, water vapor, carbon cylce ... For a longer time I have wanted to know more about the scientific background of climate change and global warming, and I am glad that I finally found the time to do this course.
Very good course for beginners who want a holistic view of global warming Incredible!
What is interesting is how Global Warming is not just an atmosphere problem but everything is involved, from icy poles to life to the Earth's crust.

bit of work
I requires quite a bit of work but the lecturer explains things extremely well.
In addition you must pass all tasks, which meant I actually failed the course by getting the second top mark you can get on the last assignment despite passing all the others (a fair bit of work put in), This is not an easy course.

David Archer speaks clearly and makes simple physics based arguments to explain the role of the models.
But sometimes, I have difficulties to understand some model.Anyhow, I thanks to Dr. David Archer and Coursera staff.
I'm grateful to David Archer.

insight into
This course has given me insight into the realm of climate change.
The models available to play with are great fun and really give an insight into how connected things are.
prof. archer
I also appreciated that Prof. Archer kept a sharp line between the known and the maybes.
Prof. Archer's lectures are interesting and fun.

more difficult
The course was much more difficult than I imagined - it required more time than the explanation suggested.
FutureLearn) and this course is much more difficult.

behind climate
This is a great course for the non-scientist to understand the scientific mechanism and models behind climate change.
Really cuts through the opinions of the people who don't know the science behind climate change.
teaching staff
I dont give it 5 stars because there is no teaching staff support at all.
I love the math.But these are my personal metrics: A 4-star course has a high level of student collaboration and teaching staff participation, a 5-star course has very responsive teaching staff.
