    About the Course

    The University of Alberta, the University of Tromso and the University of the Arctic invite you to explore this four week course that examines the
    environment and climate of the circumpolar North. This course is the result of an international collaboration and provides you with an insight
    into our planet's North. Following an overview of regional geography, we will focus on the cryosphere (ice), as well as the atmosphere and
    ocean of the region. We will learn why the Arctic is cold and ice covered, and how that impacts its climate and ecosystems. We will also
    consider how the Arctic is connected to the rest of the world. Finally, we will examine present day climate change, the proces...

    I​t was a really interesting course and I learnt something knew as well, which wasn't covered in my University curriculum. I was happy to attend and complete this course from the beginning to the end.

    It was a really amazing and an informative course. If you are interested to know how things work in the Arctic region and how the climate varies in the Arctic, this is a must do course.

    A very informative course but two problems prevent me from giving 5 stars.

    1. The quizzes could be better. There should be more of them and some of the multi-answer ones could be given more thought. But the quizzes here are much better than those in Arctic Development.

    2.The instructor pictured on the" cover" of the course is not the one who actually gives the course---in fact he never appears at all. A similar thing occurs in Arctic Development but not quite as strongly. This is not the case with other Coursera MOOCs that I've done.

    The content of the course is very interesting and deals with a problem that is generating more and more negative effects on the planet, not only on the Arctic.

    The script is well developed, although the videos could be supplemented with more information, especially graphics.

    Questions that are asked in the video allow us to better understand the contents, that detail is very successful.

    Evaluations have a certain complexity, which makes it possible to analyze the substance of each question in great detail.

    My thanks to Dr. Paul Myers for this course.

    really interesting, it's a really good base for all to understand the Arctic and a rebound to understand the climat change. I would like to learn more in the pdf lesson, if you'll be able to add some optional lessons to read I would appreciate, but for sur I'll take the next course. It well structure and explain. The other thing is about the test it will be interesting to have all the good answer after we've pass it. Just to understand our mistake

    Content was very good. I didn't liked the assignments, they were too short and the answering options were too narrow; sometimes they could be misinterpreted and led to a confusing missing point. I would recommend to add several more questions for each assignment, chosen random for each attempt, put a limit on total attempts and give feedback on answers. Thanks for the course, I enjoyed it a lot; short but precise.

    This is a good overall picture of the arctic covering a wide range of topics that are being affected by climate change. The quiz that are spaced throughout the videos are a good break from just watching.

    Perhaps the presentation, while enthusiastic, was a bit static and fairly long in length. This could possibly be improved by having different presenters or more visuals during the lecture.

    The course was enjoyable and I definitely learned a lot more about the arctic and climate change. I felt the content was a bit static and having done Mountains 101 with University of Alberta, I thought it would have made a big difference to visit some of the places mentioned, to show the problems occurring, and see interviews with researchers working in the Arctic.

    Very interesting course on the Arctic. As an introduction, I appreciated the broad overview of the things affecting the Arctic and thus the global climate. As a neophyte, some of the more technical, scientific aspects were hard to follow but were just as interesting to understand; having the course notes to go back to was helpful!
