"I really enjoyed doing the course online. I think the tutor handled it really well and had a great structure organised which really allowed plenty of time for informal chat and discussion, as well as time for group work, independent work and learning. Also, as this is a course about the environment I appreciated the non-travel aspect!"
"The online course allowed for much more diverse group of people. People that may not have joined if the class was held in person."
