This Artic Development class provides outstanding videos to learn more about Arctic cultures, and strategies to address climate change in the Arctic, which is a "canary in the coal mine" for rising temperatures and their impacts on the environment and our living spaces. I really appreciate all of the University of Alberta professors who prepared and presented this valuable coursework. Thanks so much.

The course of the course is wonderful! It provides students with high-level learning, with highly qualified teachers. This course opened up a range of possibilities in my career and an immeasurable wealth of learning about Atticus.

Excellent content and the Instructors were well versed in the history and geography of the Arctic regions. A refreshing approach to an important region of the earths northern exposures.

Great course, would recomend for anyone who's interested inpolicy related to geography, climate change, planning, engineering etc.

Excellent, concise, and great foundational points to begin the journey of understanding Arctic Development! Thankyou!

Very informative! I have lived in the Arctic for many years, and did not know most of these things.

Very good introduction to the impact of climate change, development and future of the Arctic!

Very interesting and captivating on this region so strategic and crucial for our future !

Very Informed approach to learning what the future holds for Arctic Development

It gave a lot of information about the Arctic region and its development.

I liked the content, the pace of speech and explanatory media.

Very good introductory course

GREAT COURSE!!

Very

I would like to give a 5 star rating to this course but the poor quality of many of the quizzes makes that impossible.I

noticed the following problems:

(a) There are MANY typos in the quiz questions---these range from sentences which make no sense to misspelling. Routine editing is needed.

(b)In several quizzes questions are asked based on material covered in Later sections of the course.

(c) In one quiz the same question is asked twice.

Also strange is that the instructors named for this course only give one or two of the lectures.

in view of today (2026) this course is very relevant. I enjoyed the education. FYI.... I found it unsettling that the quiz M4L4 was actually missing the educational video that the questions were about. I take meticulous notes and could find no reference to the questions asked. The sequence jumped from Quiz M4L2 to the case study of Shishmaref, AK to Quiz M4L4. After enough tries I did get the responses correct.

Very interesting topics, as Arctic issues are great reference to many development projects around the globe. Thanks the course team for the great sharing! However, the course contents are a bit vague and general, since the instructors mainly focus on concepts.

It would be helpful if mentioning more cases. or focusing on fewer countries (instead of covering all Arctic regions)

The quizzes had one or two incorect answers and a few confusing questions with improper wording/grammer. Additionally 1 video's audio was silent for the first 15 seconds. However on the whole I greatly enjoyed this course!

Very well presented and provides a great focus on the polar north.
