Poor lecture style. Pictures and supporting info poor

Very interesting but could be broken up into sections with a question review after each section. Coral bleaching section did not have sound.

By Kimberly Anne Mah Yi Wen on 5/19/2022

It was really interesting and informative! However, I'm not sure if it's just me but a third of part 10's audio was corrupted (The last part) so I couldn't hear what the presenter was saying. Also, there could have been a quiz at the end so that the viewer can consolidate their learning and see which parts they don't understand well enough yet. Thank you!

By Doug Varney on 7/9/2020

yes. I'd like to add that a few minutes before the end of module 10, the video becomes corrupted and stops, and even skipping over the stalled section, the audio is missing.
