TOP REVIEWS FROM GLOBAL WARMING I: THE SCIENCE AND MODELING OF CLIMATE CHANGE
A great introductory course into Global Warming as well as modelling which gives you a better insight into what is actually happening with our planet. Started another course and it all fits in.
I liked the subject and professor is well prepared and an expert in the field. The mode of delivery is interactive.
This is an interesting and challenging course but I love it!! Get an idea of how models and programs are used to analyze climate issues.
It's a very comprehensive and extremely tough course to negotiate. Some of the quiz answers are still a mystery. It has arisen the appetite of Climate Change within me, like never before.
