About the Course

The course for a round the world regatta leads the boats through the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, Southern Indian and South Pacific Oceans. On their voyage, the skippers come across a large variety of oceanographic situations: strong currents, floating ice, wave formations of every kind and biological diversity. In this course the student will learn about the foundations of the science of oceanography. You'll learn about the classification and formation of the ocean floor, how current sea satellite analysis systems work, the chemistry of the oceans and the processes that led to its formation. To follow this course does not require previous knowledge of oceanography....

The content at large just excellent.just excellent..but the videos mostly a pure disaster as the teachers were standing in the light beams most of time and..and videos also were cut partly or in wrong angel to the board .. It should be consulting a normal videomaker expert in teaching program . Not to forget most in spanish but thank´s the lord was the content in english . even when interpreted by robots at large everything ..quite OK! Anyhow I repeat : The content and course design ...again excelllent as such..1000+ one thanks..!!

The course is very rich in information, I have acquired broad elements to understand better the ocean dynamics, processes that are involved and the consequences caused by them. Sometimes I was a bit confused, I think the explanations were very good but sometimes not so clear.

As a Paleoceanography student definitely recommend this course to people who have already a bit background in the topic!

I think it's difficult for me, a chinese native speaker. Because i cant speak spanish, and the content of this course is a bit different from i have learnt in my university. it's will be better if all the teachers in this course use english or the course is equipped with chinese fonts.

Good course, but hard to follow. The quizzes tend to focus on details not emphasized in the lectures, and I would have liked more in the way of geological features and processes of the ocean, though what content there was was good.

The course does say that you don't require prior knowledge about the field to learn about Oceanography but you need a strong understanding in physical and mathematic aspects of science in order to truly study the ocean.

Este curso es muy avanzado, hay que tener eso en cuenta antes de empezarlo, hay cosas que son prácticamente imposibles de comprender sin conocimientos previos de termodinámica o termología

A veces las diapositivas en pantalla no se ven bien y complica el aprendizaje y el inglés de algunos docentes deja que desear, pero aún así aprendes bastante en el curso.

This course provided a great overview of what oceanography is about and made me want to learn more about it. Thanks, Coursera, I will keep on learning!

It was helpful with a lot of information included.

I did not rate with 5 stars because a lot of the links had an 404 error (the site not exist).

IT IS A GREAT COURSE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE STUDYING MARINE SCIENCES .I FOUND IT INTERESTING AND I HAVE LEARNT MANY IMPORTANT FEATURES OF OCEAN.

這是一門相當有難度的課程,裡面幾乎是以地中海為例來解釋海流、水團交換等現象,導師以西班牙文教學,對於我來說只能邊看字幕邊試圖理解內容,有點吃力,題目也不算是簡單,需要思考或重複多看影片。

I have learned more from this course which enhanced my current knowledge about the ocean.
