It's one of the most interesting courses on Coursera

Very nice course but course completed, I didn't get certificate

The course was quite interesting, thanks to each professor who created the course and gave me the opportunity to learn about it.

As my native town experienced a severe landslide in 2015, I am particularly interested in this subject. This lecture is valuable as it significantly improves my knowledge about landslides
