Лучшие отзывы о курсе GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
This course is an interesting one, It gave me a global perspective of the environmental challenges faced in other region of the world. This is the first course i will complete on coursera.
It is an outstanding course for beginners who want to study Environmental Engineering or Environmental Science, it covers almost every aspects of these fields. Recommended for Environmentalist.
An environmental science degree equips you with the skills and knowledge for a range of jobs in areas such as conservation, sustainability, and environmental research and education
The course is generic but well covered. It would have been better if there is a better structure in the content shared by many professors who are asked to teach the subject.
