Incredibly helpful to someone wanting to study ecological sciences at university! I highly recommend you complete the course as it doesn't take long. I very much enjoyed it. With love from the UK!

one of the best course to know everything about algae. I recommend all people who decided to work on algae pass this course. I learnt about different aspects of algae and seaweed. thanks Coursera.

Good introduction, really gets you interested for more! Could use better made presentations, visually. Not necessarily prettier, but clearer in the sense of not having a bunch of text while someone is talking, perhaps showing one part at the time, etc. But I understand it's still just introductory!

Very interesting and clear. I was more interested by the beginning of the course about algae biology than the biomanufacturing and industrial uses aspects however the teachers made it really interesting too and I got caught up and learned a lot more. I very much recommend this course !

The course is rather well done and teaches a lot. It's a big eye opener on algae but on plants as well. The only part I didn't like at all was the bio-manufacturing one which felt like a marketing presentation more than explaining actual processes (including even some FUDs).

Excelente material, tal y como lo dice, es material introductorio, por lo que si alguno desea venir en busca de información profunda, no la encontrará aquÃ. Un poco de todo y sobre todo, aplicación de la información. Excelentes explicaciones y planteamiento.

I enjoyed the course, i liked the quality of the questions and the power point presentations used.
What I didn't really like was that every lecture was given by a different proffesor... anyway, I had a good experience and learned many new things :)

Great Introductory course! However, I would have liked to better understand the challenges in bringing algae derived biofuels to the market, and more details about other applications of algae, such as wastewater treatment, Hydrogen production etc.

This was really a great in-depth introduction to algae! The modules were very well structured and assignments tested the understanding of important concepts. Also very manageable for those people working full-time jobs! Really enjoyed it!

exceptional introduction I must say. I am an BS Aquaculture from URI and an oyster hatchery manager and was more than satisfied with the curriculum and the expertise of the speakers. I would greatly encourage a follow-up course.

I just finished my first year of undergraduate biology, so this course was a great way to recap key biological concepts. But unlike university, this course taught me the concepts in a real-world applied context which was great!

Excellent overview. Needs some editing for minor errors. Some questions need to be redesigned since many forms of answers could be correct, e.g. energy source for photosynthesis could be light, sunlight, photons, etc.

Excellent course but one suggestion if possible to consider.
It could be quite beneficial to add animations to aid the receiver to understand and visualize the ideas being discussed.

The course provided my first babysteps into the world of kelps/seaweed & was very interesting. However I would have loved to see a more clear split between micro & macroalgae.

This course is worth to be attended. The quality of material and teachers is high. I suggest to update/add some parts relevant to latest industrial applications.

some lectures were pretty boring. just add a little bit of fun and excitement in the professors' voices so that to capture the attention of the students.

Really great foundational course providing the basics required to understand the benefits and principles of algae farming and production.

Thanks, it was a very good course, but I recommend putting additional bibliography to read and complement the information

It was intricate for a person not knowing that field nor an expert in the biology field in general and most interesting

Diagrams need to be clearer but either way it feels like a good introduction. I will try the Algae Biotech course now

Very nice course.
It was focused very much on micro algae, I would have liked more info on seaweed.

It would be nice to have more bibliography in some of the lectures, specially week 5
