TOP REVIEWS FROM LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS: ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Professor Moloney & Dr. Sherman made a truly eye-opening course. Short enough to fit into most schedules, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Highly recommend.
The course is great for beginners. The assignments are not too daunting, but rigorous enough
Some more addition in global perspectives section would be great.
Course was not quite what I expected, but overall very good, demanding, and a good learning experience.
This course deepened my understanding of large marine ecosystems, how they should be assessed and the best practices/strategies that should be implemented in order to successfully manage them.
