Environmental Awareness Training, Page 18 Reviews

Some mistakes: climate change doesn't cause tsunamis (not in transcript but in video); legislation is different in Scotland so does depend on local council. Not clear what the objective is with a mixture covering general awareness and more legal aspects. Too long, with some of the additional information it took well over an hour. Some of the questions not much use - how many trees provide oxygen for 2 people? Interesting but not a fact I need to know to pass a test. How big are the trees? Temperate or tropical? Course has potential, but not there yet

The term "Butterfly Effect" was repeatedly misused to cover any situation where making a small contribution would, if followed by the many, have a powerful effect. This is not what the term means nor where it originated. I found the incorrect usage of a real scientific principle distracting and fear that it is the type of unscientific simplification that gives ammunition to climate change deniers. Has the script been properly fact checked by a climate specialist??

Too simplistic. Would have preferred more detail, such as science and, or legislation.

It would have been appreciated to be given a warning when you are going to show disturbing images or have the option to skip the images, not impressed!

No summary provided

I felt there was too much unneeded rhetoric. I also think it possibly suffered from only having one presenter who had a clear voice but it became monotonous.

Be able to watch in longer blocks might be handy. Be able to enlarge the video and have access to navigation would be easier - one could exercise whilst doing the training; better than sitting in one spot for the duration. But the information provided was very good; some of the stats, I didn't know - makes me think about it more.

As previous course, unable to move on through topics that you are fully aware of.

Yep

I didn't feel that it had anything more than basic and obvious environmental information. I already know what I should be doing. The onus needs to be on the workplace as I feel that many workplaces make no effort.
