Mahendranath R completed this course, spending 20 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
This course from Harvard is a great primer to understand how scientists determine that climate change is happening. In a sense, it goes beyond the pop sci presented on TED talks or in the media. You will get a sense of the incredibly complex interactions... -
Hanna Melissa Sorbito is taking this course right now and found the course difficulty to be hard.
I think this course is appropriate to those with higher level of education in terms of physics and algebra. In my case, I found it hard to understand the terms. I am definitely interested at the beginning as I thought that it was an applied course regarding climate change. However, it primarily expounded on the theoretical side of hard science, which I am not really adept to understand considering my inclination to Humanities and the Social Sciences.
I recommend this to learners who want to understand the science behind climate change. Even if I had to drop the course because of its misalignment with my field of interest, I still believe that taking this course will help one to view climate change in a different perspective. :)
