Too long and boring

Very boring, tedious and uninteresting. It was hard to stay awake.

2/5
Woefully inadequate

I think that we are way past the point where focusing people's attention on making many small changes is going to have any significant effect on climate change or biodiversity loss. So I found the repeated references to "The butterfly effect" somewhat offensive. Surely there should be some emphasis on bigger questions like: - Is it wise to plan to continually grow our business? If we do will this increase our environmental impact regardless of any small measures we take? - Can we drastically reduce or stop the need for air travel within our business? - Could the skills and resources of our company be used in another area which would benefit the environment?

2/5
Very basic and lacking in evidence

Some of the statements made within the presentation were very assuming with little supporting evidence (Specifically impact of eating meat & dairy as this is an ongoing discussion/argument with no clear decision either way). The presentation itself included very basic ideas about reducing our impact on the environment and felt oversimplified. There was nothing in there that was innovative, the majority of people already know about the strategies discussed in the videos.

+Not relevant for Norway

No summary provided

2/5
Tedious

Would prefer to take the test first and then go back and 'fill in the gaps' in knowledge.

2/5
Too long

Information was repetitive, started off interesting but dragged on too long

2/5
Very wordy and basic

Is this course aimed at school children as this is the level that the course was aimed at.

2/5
Time consuming

No summary provided

2/5
basic, repetitive, condescending

Aimed at primary school kids, no need to brainlessly sit through slides as questions common sense

2/5
Perpetuated several misconceptions

Some excellent suggestions for individual actions but also presented some significant misconceptions, such as trying to apply chaos theory to climate (rather than weather, which is what the 'butterfly effect' refers to). Several sources and statistics were also quoted out of their proper context resulting in false statements.
