Very hands-on course, learned a lot by having to do a plethora of peer-reviewed assignments!

Though the information you learn is valuable, the grading system is not. Having peers grade you from all around the world does not seem fair when some of them are not taking this course seriously. I had feedback such as "no" with no explanation of how I could improve on an assignment I was genuinely confused about. I ended up failing that assignment and had to wait a week to be regraded on my new submission. The set up for the assignments is a little confusing at times and the "templates" can be used by anyone. So sometimes the data gets altered. It was easy and convenient, this class, so that's why I gave it any stars.

Completing any course should not rely on peer-graded assignments. The course material is good and serves as a nice refresher or introduction to sustainability.

The peer review grading piece holds up actually completing this module.

Course itself is quite good overview of the basics of a sustainability and on the work of a sustainability analyst. However, the many peer review task makes it a bit frustrating, since there is no way of tring to figh/skip a reviewer who clearly hasn't spend anytime checking the submission and gives 0 pts that should not be given for that submission. Then it requires another submission and another waiting time of new peer reviewers.

creating the line graphs was the most challenging part as I was not familiar with Excel. This type of application is real world as I've been in solar and have conducted many bill reviews to ensure accurate system sizing for customers. I would've liked to have more than simply peer review- even though the peer review aspect is perfect for learning; I found a few folks didn't really understand the assignments or were just flying by. In any case, it proved useful for me. Look forward to part 2/3 !!

This course provides a great overview of what working as a sustainability analyst entails, but the assignment prompts are often unclear and leave room for multiple interpretations. Additionally, I believe that the slide presentation templates they offer have some room for improvement when it comes to clearly and concisely conveying information. I would recommend this course for anyone (like me) who wants to learn more about what it's like to be a sustainability analyst, but I would not get overly caught up in the assignments.

The course was good, and I did learn more around the career of a sustainability analyst. I thought the course I was doing was "Sustainability Analyst Fundamentals", I did not now that I have to do 2 more courses in order to get a certificate with the title "Sustainability Analyst Fundamentals".

Good overview of how sustainability analysis works and what skills are needed to have a career in that field. Some assignments and templates had mistakes in them, but it didn't significantly impact the course.

j'ai trouvé les vidéos de mauvaises qualités car les images ne sont pas pertinentes avec le son et ça m'a perturbé pour suivre ce qui est dit. Ce sont en plus les mêmes vidéos trouvées sur une banque d'images qui tournent sur la plupart.... Autant faire un audio simple, en plus ça sera plus en accord avec le thème de faire des contenus moins gourmand en data ;) . Je n'aime pas non plus la correction par les pairs, je ne me sens pas compétente pour juger le travail des autres, et j'aimerais mieux être évaluée par quelqu'un d'expérimenté. Mais je comprend ce choix et j'en connais les raisons. Il n'y a pas mon nom sur le certificat!!! autant dire qu'il est inutile :( Cependant, je suis tout de même satisfaite car cela m'a donné un autre regard sur mon métier. J'ai apprécié les exercices de mise en situation. Je remercie Coursera de m'avoir fait bénéficié de ce cursus

there are very few students enrolled while there are 6 peer-graded assignments. you won't complete the course until someone grades your work. You may need to wait for a long time! I finished my course yesterday and didn't get a single grade for my assignments.
