I have to agree with many other users, this lesson in particular contained an excessive amount of information to then be tested on at the very end. Additionally, there seems to be a drastically different setup for classroom content in this unit in comparison the previous units. Could be helpful to have a more uniform course design.

Some of the exercises where labeling was required was difficult because I would drag a description to the photo and it would continually reject the response eventhough it was correct. I had to continually attempt to drag the description until I got it to the exact location on the photo.

This is perhaps one of the most important units of S-290, but the concepts can be difficult to grasp. Take your time with this one, and don't take the quiz at night while you're falling asleep after studying...don't ask me how I know.

Unit 2 - Cloud Formation: Review Exercises, Question 8 has an error. I selected B, clicked Done, and was told “The correct answer is B…” however answer B was marked with a red X while answer A was highlighted green, as if it is the correct answer.Unit 3 - Stable Atmosphere: Frontal Inversion, Question 2 (*not* from review Exercises) has an error. I selected B, and while the text told me this was correct, as did the green checkmark beside B, answer A was highlighted in green, as if it were also the correct answer.I’m fairly sure question 19 of 26 in the quiz is grammatically incorrect, and misleading. “If a cold front displaces… what will happen to its pressure…?” sounds as if you’re asking us what will change in the cold front, though I believe you’re referring to the air parcel instead.

This lesson is way to hard and needs to recap what's important here more than dumping non critical information. It felt saturated with more descriptions than was necessary. Mention clearly what clouds affect the fire behavior and show a picture DO LOTS OF MATCHING that was by far the most helpful thing in this lesson

Nice course but inconsistent with names of clouds...they refer to cirrostratus but not pictured on classification figure; another class is inconsistent, but cannot remember. Also, the cloud classification figure has a big glop of blue near top above cirrocumulus which is not identified but looks like the other clouds they picture in diagram. Glop should be removed in favor of white background

The lesson was too long. The inversion sections and cloud sections should have been individual units, that you did one after the other. Understanding would be improved by separating the topics and then having a section where you showed their interaction. Additional review questions in each section would also be helpful.

"Which of the following statements best describes an inversion?" this question is not easily answered and still does not make sense to me... The "What is stability?" part of the lesson was too technical for my purposes. It should be be less technical and easier to understand. It even says in the lesson this is what "meteorologists" use and do.. Firefighters just need the basic understanding and then have drop down for extra learning about the subjects for more details. The rest of the lesson was alright but hard to follow because I was still trying to understand the first part.

I felt many of the subjects were poorly explained. Especially air parcels. It would say, "if one parcel of air rises relative to another air parcel..." why would they do this? What is the difference between these two air parcels that would cause one to rise and the other sink? A little more explanation would be beneficial. Additionally I felt that some of the pictures of clouds were insufficient. They failed to show the whole picture and therefore made it difficult to reach the desired conclusion of the lesson.

If given the option try old format before new. Photos necessary for Unit 6 Quiz failed to load on questions 17 and 20 perhaps a third when done in the new suggested format. This could be make or brake in your passing the quiz.
Topics here were covered well by comparison to other Met. classes I've encountered outside of Comet. Moving diagrams are not always available in lectures/online courses as they are found here. Concepts are still tricky and require repetition to grasp.. A couple photos don't represent concept well and could cause some confusion, but overall I thought media was better than I've seen elsewhere.

The information in the chapter quiz asks questions that are not contained in the chapter material making it difficult to succeed. There should be a review of the test and the chapter and add the appropriate material or remove the questions from the test. [Editor's note 2016-01-04: Some users are most likely not viewing the entire lesson. The design of this lesson includes horizontal navigational tabs with access to 4 sections of content. There are also notes on the last frame of each section with directions to continue to the next section. An analysis of quiz results from thousands of users shows no issues with any of the quiz questions. ]

Did GREAT during all the practice quizes throughout yet only scored a 76% on the actual quiz! Really? I know most of the information I had viewed. (You have to click "continue" or "Next question" instead of "Next." If you click "next", it will pass over quite a bit of essential information. Needless to say, this quiz/unit alone brought my Average down to an 88%... unacceptable in my book! Other than the complications, most of the material is quite informative.

I just clicked next whenever it asked me to and somehow missed huge sections of this unit - everything on thunderstorms and inversions. I was quite surprised to see all that information on the test.
[Editors note 2014-04-28: Several reviewers indicate that they were unable to find the information that is covered in the quiz. Though all the topics are accessible as tabs near the top of the page, the navigation at the end of each section did not directly link to the next section to continue. This oversight in functionality has been corrected.]

Awful unit. Quite a bit to comprehened, and then less than half was actually on the quiz. Of the 26 questions, 16 dealt specifically with clouds and inversions, which were not discussed AT ALL in the unit. Took over 2 hours to complete the quiz since i had to get online to learn about these two topics. This unit needs to be altered.

This is a great module and I recommend it to any one wanting to learn more about cloud and inversion formation. It is very easy. As for being longer, 3 to 4 hours to complete, I just took two days to complete it. As for "awhite28"'s review, they just clicked next and not the tabs at the top of the page. They tell you all about thunderstorms and inversions. I do not know why this module has so many bad reviews. It is the best module that I have found on clouds. It is very easy to understand and has all kinds of pictures of what they are talking about while they are talking about it. Please disregard all the bad reviews about this module and take it yourself. Just remember, spread it out over two days and don't forget to click on the tabs at the top of the page. I am training to be a meteorologist and this is the only module I have found so far that describes the clouds so well. It is one of the best modules that I have taken on the whole METED site.

i have to agree with the unit being broken into more and much smaller units, it also seems you put less emphasis on thunderstorms in your lecture and more focus on it during the quiz.

As others have said, this unit really needs to be broken up into smaller units. This would assist us in better learning the materials.
Many of us taking the course in work environments where we are interrupted, and the length of this unit makes it difficult to come back to the place you left off.
The material presnented is good, and worth learning.
