Science Literacy - How Solid Science Can Help You Save the World

And it also provides us with simple tools to make analysis by ourselves.Space for improvement could lie in that the links between videos and reading materials of a same module or block could be strong, at least sometimes they don't seem so hooked with each other to me or I sometimes got confused what these contents together show something different from other blocks.

The assignment assumes one is able to produce a lecture-type of video, without taking into account that most students are not particularly good at such things (graphics, animations, video production etc.).

It would be better if there was no division per week, but just a list of mandatory things and a list of optional things.

I felt that someone was giving me the right answer for everything and I wasn't supposed to think about it all.I would rather focus my attention on the large gap between reality and "scientific" claims.

The interviews with the course's guests are definitely worth the time!The authors are trying to sound familiar and easy going, which at times can seem annoying, particularly in the beginning, when they sound as if they are talking to unknowledgeable little children.

If they would address this in the future sessions, I think many would appreciate it.The material is interesting and definitely thought-provoking, but I had trouble in seeing what is the general direction (the vector, if you will) of this course.The capstone project is also a bit too demanding, as it assumes one would create a video in which they would discuss a challenging topic.

In comparison to ninety percent of the other courses we all take this is so much more important over the long term for ourselves, our shared planet, and the other species we inhabit the world with.

Too many peer-viewed assignment My feeling is that this MOOC is very inspiring in way that it brings out the fact and paradox that we previously were reluctant to say out , and that is we are not saving lives in an effective way and that's how we actually should behave if we are real egalitarians in ourselves.
