Educators who take Seminars on Science courses have overwhelmingly praised the program for its exciting content, rigorous academics, wonderful instructors, and the convenience of its online course structure. Many educators come back to explore additional courses. Here is some feedback from recent course participants in this course.
"Great content resources! I learned a ton about complex Earth science topics in a very efficient and effective way. I feel I've got a content foundation that I'll use to build my next year's curriculum and connect it to the rest of my physical science course."
"The best assignment was observing a local geologic structure. I enjoyed finding the feature, then linking it to the geologic map, and then getting as much information as possible. [It was] a very rewarding experience. I thought the readings and essays about banded iron formation, deep-sea ecosystems, and the connection to evolution were thoroughly intriguing, and I discussed these topics at home at the dinner table and at work with my colleagues."
"The instructors were wonderful at staying in touch, responding to emails. The text was affordable and a good choice for this course. I will use it as a resource. I would have to say, after completing an online masters program, that the best part of this course was the way it was laid out and conducted online. They know how to do online courses, and I plan on taking another in January. I would recommend AMNH courses to anyone."
"Having an instructional team working with the class gave me different perspectives on the topics. The resource materials were wonderful. The course is extremely organized and systematic. I felt that the instructors furthered my understanding of the topics by delving into my responses and asking follow-up questions in order to make sure that I understood."
"Online courses allow me access no matter where I am. I traveled extensively over the last month and was able to keep up with the work."
