Learned about the different types of wind systems.
cody1 2018-09-26 16:00:59

this unit was a little hard to follow
damonap 2018-09-23 22:19:22

On occasion, the photos are vague and difficult to label. Also, two of the questions in the course; determining anemometer speed by using the sum of the upper and ground level speeds wasn't discussed until after I missed the question. Good class though.
jproctor 2018-09-23 13:06:47

RAMalahy 2018-09-07 10:57:44

I thought the class guides you through the topics efficiently and provides a lot of insight into the study of weather.

Too much information, all stuff we can receive from google or weather reports. We are not meteorologist and should concentrate on the basics as to to overfill and already full bucket.

Still feel like the questions are misleading that adds nothing to the full comprehension of the material.
Robb 2018-05-04 13:25:57

Good course....question in Section 2-review question is misleading. Scenario places firefighter on Pacific coast but answers are written as if East Coast is locale. Statements such as landbreeze at night from East to West; local winds off Pacific Ocean from East to West
ajb862 2018-05-02 14:42:09

Toughest section so far. Lots to remember.
salus004 2018-02-22 16:40:21

This lesson contained A LOT of information that is relevant and important but because it is all mashed together in a mega-lesson, it is hard to focus on all the details and really nail down the concepts. It would be better to split this lesson up or have additional review questions that nail down definitions and major take-aways.

It's distracting to me when the written portion of a slide does not coincide with the narrators comments word for word. I find it much more efficient for me to understand when I can read the slide as the narrator speaks verbatim.

it was ok. there was a video of a fire whirl during the slides that you had to answer a question about. I think it gave you three options, you really couldn't tell it was a fire whirl though so I got the answer wrong

Our meteorologist will give the ICP and div, sup's the forecast. Far too much information, Only needed about half of it. or less in depth information for the general principal items

I don't like the change in format of the 1 2 3 4 tabs along the top of the lesson window. It is a different format than all the other pages, and makes it really easy to mill entire pages and a large chunk of material.
