Reviews

Great course.

Good lecturers.

Upgraded my skills on IAQ management.

Kudos to Coursera.

Kudos to Hong Kong School of Science and Technology

Excellent course. I learnt much during the programme. It was not very informative and provided a good introduction to indoor air quality

The quizzes are the best one I've ever seen here, they were amazingly appropiate to the topics we learned and provided examples so we could answer in a more realistic scenario

This course is very well structured and the instructors have explained all the topics in a very comprehensive manner.
