Great course. Awesome introduction to Ecosystem Services. Well-balanced portrayal of the many tensions and difficulties in the field. Also a great exposure to MANY experts and many diverse opinions.

That's a great course. Not only introducing the approach, but providing us with different pro and cons of the method. And it gives a lot to critical thinking on the topic. I found it really helpful

I really enjoyed the course! I thought it was very interesting, well-delivered, and a good mix of video's, tests, essays, etc. If anything, there could have been some more texts to read and sometimes I could not fill in the answers to the questions asked during the video's (which I loved by the way; there could even be more!).

I have enjoyed the class very much. It is a very good introduction to Ecosystem Services. This is not an easy topic, but this is well-done, well balanced, and brings many various different views, therefore including objectivity on the matter. I appreciate this greatly!

This is a great course. Three thoughts
1. Update links as some are out of use
2. Questions in the videos don't always show possible answers
3. Include a simple version of the final section on e.g InVEST as am input to the assignment
Thank you for such a great course

Its a very good course, I learned a lot. I would emphasize in the connectivity between lessons, sometimes I was bored or distracted due to long interviews and not enough clarity about key concepts. Anyway, great professors and content.

I felt that the subject of ecosystems services was discussed with depth and clarity. I was glad to see many different perspectives which were all equally valid and needed to be explored in order to do justice to ES methodologies.

Interesting perspective and good reading materials. I missed some reference to other well known institutions like the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and well known authors with related ideas, but all in all quite relevant.

This course does not only engage the students to understand importance of ecosystem services and different valuation techniques but also have provided great knowledge about the challenges and opportunities .

Excellent quality material, but now a bit outdated. If not redoing it, it would benefit from an additional sequence at the end of each module to update the student on the current situation.

I could not complete the project on ecosystem services assessment of module 6 for reasons unknown. Otherwise the course is very good and it gave me deeper understanding of the concept.

Very good introduction to many aspects of this method.
I would like to see more case studies especially from "developped" countries.

Interactive and very convenient quiz feedback. Too many instructors, however, would sometimes a bit hard to concentrate.
