Mountains 101

The guest speakers, field trips, tech tips and interactive map were all exceptional.

A very enjoyable well presented course, easy to follow and everything very well explained plus the tech tips are great.

The course instructors were clear, information was relevant and interesting, interactive maps were and related course material was beneficial, and the tech tips were informative.

And of course, the Tech Tips were very useful as well!

The Tech Tips added great advice for those of us who recreate in the mountains, the Mountain Map World gave me a global perspective, and lots of food for thought.

The tech tips with Matt and Laura (valuable learnings that I'm hoping I can find in a summary PDF) made the connection so I got far more than I bargained for.

Love the Tech Tips too!

Tech Tips were a great way of adding practical advice for one's time in the mountains.

Lessons were informative and the extras (mapping out the regions you talk about in the lessons, tech tips) were interesting as well!

David and Zac were outstanding, the videos were incredible, the tech tips were very informative, the subject matter for each lesson was always incredibly interesting!

The lessons are interesting, the tech tips are a great extra and I really enjoyed the mountains map.

Love the images, the interactive world map, tech tips and the range of topics presented.

I'd highly recommend this course!

I highly recommend this course.

I highly recommend this course to anyone!

We would highly recommend this course for any age.

I would highly recommend this course.

Would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge about Mountains excellent course, multi-disciplinary so covers all aspects of mountain creation, flora and fauna adaptations etc.

I highly recommend this course for everyone interested in their mountainous environment.

I thoroughly enjoy doing the Mountain 101 course and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants a good.

I very much enjoyed the scenic backdrops from all over the world and highly recommend this course in order for each new learner to, in some small way, contribute as a steward of the fabulous world in which we are privileged to live.

I can highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to get to know more about the beautiful world of mountains.

I highly recommend this course to anyone interested not only in the beauty of mountains themselves but in the many ways mountains impact our lives on Earth.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in mountains.

Being hosted by the University of Alberta it was not unexpected that a lot of the visuals and visits were regarding the Alberta Rockies.

101 Mountain from the University of Alberta,Canada is the most extraordinary awesome course!

I would thank University of Alberta and Coursera for such a wonderful experience.

However, and I blame Coursera for this rather than the University of Alberta, when I was trying to re-attempt the final, week 12 quiz, suddenly I was unable to access the course at all: instead every link now goes to the course description/sign-up page.

As a result of this course, I will now be looking into Masters programs offered at the University of Alberta so that I too can be a part of the great research happening at this university.

I'm now starting University of Alberta's Dino 101 course and look forward to other offerings from the University of Alberta.

Thanks to University of Alberta and all who made this course possible.

I am a student at the University of Alberta and my program didn't allow for more space to take this class.

Another wonderfully interesting course from the University of Alberta.

It was my first Official Course and I had enjoyed a lot by watching lectures, reading some extra notes, and completing the quizzesMy Sincere Thanks to Coursera team and University of Alberta Great content, very well organized.

Kudos to the University of Alberta for, as always, producing top notch research!

Thank you Coursera & University of Alberta.

Easy to follow video lectures with enthusiastic professors along with key guest speakers and experts.

Great videos, great lecturers and guest speakers.

Was really impressed with all the ressources and even guest speakers.

The lectures are interesting and easy to follow, featuring a variety of guest speakers in gorgeous mountain settings.

Excellent lectures, with a variety of guest speakers.

Very informative with interesting "guest speakers".

Instructor lectures were interesting with great supporting guest speakers.

Broad range of mountain topics, interesting guest speakers.

The media and academic content is superb as well as all the guest speakers.

Excellent video presentations from the instructors, great examples and some surprise guest speakers who just made this course even more interesting.

The videos were well paced and informative, and the lecturers and guest speakers were all brilliant.

Lots of love to all the course instructors and guest speakers for making such an amazing course.

A true survey course covering from mountain geology to art to human physiology to climate change.

at times the science of hydrology and climate change and wind directions was slightly overwhelming but still fun.

It covered the ecosystems of mountains and their endangerment with climate changes.

You become more aware of your contributions to climate change and encourages you to decrease your environmental impacts.

While introductory in nature, the multidisciplinary approach is well done, particularly regarding climate change and "valuation" of the mountain environment.

The effect of climate change on the world’s mountains is discussed.

The lessons on global warming were particularly new to me, to now grasp the importance of monitoring climate change, limiting the change and understanding that mountains themselves could be endangered to various degrees if nothing is done.

It was a nice overview of all the issues related to mountains, from geology to ecology, climate change and human communities.

My favourite topics were glaciers and climate change.

Don't agree with the whole man made climate change theory so it seemed to detract from the course, as did the cameo from our poor excuse for a prime minister.

I really appreciated the emphasis placed on sustainability and the impacts that climate change has had and will continue to have on mountain environments.

The course gives you the educational foundation to understand and better advocate for maintaining the mountain environment whether or not you've ever been in the mountains and they are the first tangible sign of the impending risk of climate change.

Very well put together.

Lots of new to me information and very well put together.

Very well put together course.

The lessons covered a large range of topics and were well put together.

I loved the graphics and thought that the videos were well put together, and I really liked that there were so many knowledgeable guest speakers from all over (not just from Canada or Alberta).

It was very informative and well put together.

It is informative, interesting, very enjoyable, and well put together.

Thank you (from Manchester, England) Amazing instructors, very knowledgeable on the subjects, well put together videos, as well as guest speakers (felt like a field trip) and outdoor tips.

fantastic Really well put together with a great variety of content and contributions from experts.

AWESOME :D Great information and a very well put together course!

As a regular visitor to the Canadian Rockies this was an excellent use of my time!

I partcularily enjoyed the relevance to the Canadian Rockies.

I definitely would enjoy visiting the Canadian Rockies.

I live in the mountains of Montana, and I now have a better understanding of where I live, and many things to look for as I walk around in the US and Canadian Rockies.

We have a road trip planned for the Canadian Rockies for summer 2017, making this a very timely course presentation for us.

The course delves deep into everything to do with mountains globally, focusing on the Canadian Rockies as a home base.

I'm already planning a trip to the Canadian Rockies!

I took it because I'm going to the Canadian Rockies this summer and I know this will enhance my visit.

I am in love with the Canadian Rockies.

It also made me want to travel to the Canadian rockies!

I have visited Banff and Jasper, rafted in Kicking Horse and generally enjoyed the Canadian Rockies.

Great way to be introduced to the Canadian Rockies and Parks Canada Great Course This course was fantastic!

Some of the sessions are outside of that and deal more with societal impacts, flora and fauna - all good information too, I'm just not as passionate about that.

Very interesting introduction to mountains and the people and the flora and fauna that live there.

This was a wonderful interdisciplinary course - you'll learn not only about geology, biology - flora and fauna, ecology, but also about culture and history.

I have gained more knowledge about importance of mountains for sustainability of the Earth, human beings and all flora and fauna.

I now know what I will be looking out for, in terms of mountain and geographical formations, and the various flora and fauna that have adapted to living in the mountains.

I thought I knew quite a bit, living in the mountains and working for a national park in Canada, but I learned something new each week.

This was such a useful course for me since I work in the Mountain National Parks in Canada.

As a ranger in a national park in Iceland it also benefited me in my work.My only complaints are that sometimes you can feel that the audio needs to be remastered.

After learning about the Banff Springs Snail at the Cave and Basin in Banff National Park I can't wait for warmer weather to go see them for myself!

I live near Banff National Park in Canmore so I recognized a lot of the pictures.

Videos which are made with various profesionals in different national parks in North America on various topics is very refreshable and interesting.

I have been to Banff National Park 3 times before this course and I want to go back there again to appreciate what I have learnt!

During my 3 month stay in Canada, I got the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful national parks and places in Canada such as the Banff National park, Grasslands National Park.

I hope in the future to come to Canada and visit al the beautiful national parks that I've seen.

Think about a National Park series documentary.

Looking forward to Mtns 102 :) A great overview of mountains and Mountain culture.

I am looking forward to Mountain 201!

I am looking forward for future courses which cover Himalayan mountains in detail.

Looking forward to follow-ups!

Looking forward to taking Mountains 102.

Looking forward to a possible sequel, and I'm enrolling the next Alberta course right away!

Looking forward for a continuation!

Thanks a lot for making this course, as a Mountaineer , this gives me greater confidence in my knowledge about the mountains and I would be looking forward to more content from the Instructors.

I'll be looking forward to continuing Coursera in the future.

This has rejuvenated my interests in mountains and I am looking forward to future hiking trips.

Covered a wide range of topics, which is both a positive and negative (the reason why I am only giving 4 stars)- not all of may appeal to you, but it has been worthwhile completing the course.

Very informative, lots of great speakers, readings, resources and covered a wide range of topics very good, i liked it very much I understand more significance’s of mountains that give to our environment in a well explained scientific way.This course make me much lover of mountains.Tech tips program are good informative one for mountaineers.
