This was particularly in-depth on the sciences of ecology, and having it based around a particular conservation project made it easier to follow each progressive lecture and concept that was explored.

One of the best course, I have ever taken. The materials is not hard to follow and the in-depth explanation gives you a proper new perspective which is still open to debate due to conservation topic

i liked the course, it shows a big picture of how ecology really works in understanding big systems dynamics. I didn't like too long video lectures on some topics, they didn't have any tasks around them and the information presented wasn't memorable. Reading long articles was also tedious, i would prefer if lectures could divide them in edible chunks and present in video with a thorough scaffolding.

I absolutely loved the course. I wanted to learn more about ecology as I am very interested in this. It was nice that the taught knowledge was applied to a case study (Gorongosa National Park). The math parts (with the formulas) were a bit tricky to follow, but eventually it did become clear. Very educating and interesting course!

It was good overall but It kinda makes me think of how we are disturbing the nature in order to help it. From whatever I have seen during this pandemic, It is better that we let it be and curb our exploitation rather than trying to put in extra disturbance which only over complicates things. Cheers to a good course though !

This course was so informative! I learnt more than I ever thought I could on this topic, but it didn't feel like that. It just felt like I was having fun. A few of the readings were a bit long, but that's not a problem if you like reading like me. Just remember to look away from the screen every so often :)

Amazing course, highly educational and very easy to follow. Would definitely recomend! However, be aware the reading sections are way longer than the 10 minute estimates (I'm a fast reader and still took considerably longer). On the whole though a very enjoyable, informative course.

The course was highly informative and delved in depth into the case study of Gorongosa National Park. It could perhaps be a tad bit more interactive and more than just reading up theory and listening to audio. However, the content was excellent and updated.

This is an excellently comprehend course. As an molecular ecologist, I was aware of few. But this course had let me know many theories which I never came across till date. Thank you for enhancing my knowledge. This course is worth learning for.

I really enjoyed it and it gives you a great overview of the ecological and food-web-related factors that may be inolved in the development of an ecosystem and, thus, the success of a potential restoration process.

One of the speaker's presentation skills could be improved. Other than that, the entire course was very interesting and helped to reinforce in my mind many of the principles covered in Environmental Science.

Great overview of many topics covered in the course material. Skilled instructors and presentations. Insightful readings. 4/5 because quizzes do not show you correct answers if you get them incorrect.

I feel delighted to learn from coursera. Offering free courses with free certificates during this pandemic is a helping hands to many students who want to learn beyond their circumstances.

You learn a lot about the importance of conservation, and about new technology and reseach methods. Some of the essays are a bit long-winded, however, the material is interesting.

Overall the course content was good. I felt that the readings were much longer than the quoted '10 minutes' that's stated on each essay. Videos were excellent!

On-line courses like this one, are potential tools for increasing current knowledge and too develop criteria about conservation efforts. I really enjoyed it!

Really great course, very informative. Some sections I struggled to follow with the math formulas, she explained it a bit fast but otherwise very cool.

Good course. Tests were good, but the lectures and reading should be condensed for easy study. I would recommend this course.

Not too difficult of a course, very interesting and easy to take notes on. The lectures weren't the best, and are outdated.

A good overview of ecology with profound examples. As a non-biologist I had an amazing time following, well done!

I was not fond of the presentation format of the course and I think the theme could have been better explored.
