An eye opener to inclusive sanitation planning. The course content was very well delivered not to mention the choice of case studies of failed and successful urban sanitation projects. Keep it up!!!

The course was amazing, throw up a wide vista of knowledge for me and would really enrich my job delivery and concept development on Sanitation Systems and Technologies. The administrators however need to improve on post-course inquiries, i have been on the trail to get my SOA for some time now with no success.

Brilliant course. Synthetic but well done, description and design are accurate. I like it. I think that more tests would be useful for the teacher to value us and for us to get firm view point and feedback from our preparation . karl ziegler

Es muy bueno, para dimensionar todos los factores involucrados en el diseño de soluciones al tratamiento de aguas residuales, seria bueno involucrar mas factores culturales como enfocarse también mas en las condiciones de America latina.

I think a module should be delivered on how to use the SFD with work examples. This will help the students appreciate it more and help them develop one on their own.

Thanks

Good learning course for environmental engineer but in my point of view it mostly theoretical and requires more animation picture and videos to make it more effective
