I knew very little about much of this content so this was a very rewarding course to take, particularly because it will really improve my instruction in Environmental Science when we do cover climate change.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course on the Science of Extreme Weather. Not only did it help my own understanding and opportunities to improve my quality of life for such events, but it deepened my understanding to help my students in their studies of the formations of natural hazards and how to create mitigation plans which could save their life one day. Would highly recommend taking this course!

This course filled in some gaps in my knowledge of extreme weather. I will be incorporating some of the resources, that I was introduced to in this course, into projects that I develop for my students.

It never dawn on me that the Science of Extreme Weather encompasses so many scientific concepts and principles. It is amazing to ponder meteorologists learned so much about weather phenomena under dangerous conditions. I am just glad that I live here in California where weather wise, we are quite sane! Thank you so much for a very informative, interesting, yet challenging course. By module 8, i was still wondering if there are other weather related topics to be learned

If you are interested in earning about the weather, in teaching your students (at any level) or are considering becoming a storm chaser, the Great Course earned its title. It was wonderful and allowed me to create a series of lessons to bring into my class this coming year.
