Absolutely love the professor. He is very clear and articulate. You also don't really need to do the readings if you're very good at listening. Or you don't need to watch the lectures if you're super good at law and policy and don't need any clarifications. He makes it fun and interesting. I also learned quite a lot. Love all the examples he gives. Great class I would definitely recommend for people trying to get a little introduction and background to environmental law.

The course is designed in such a way that is very easy to understand for the learners.. the material is not too overwhelming and the course divided into parts that allows for just the right amount of pacing but also allows easy retention of the topics covered. It will satisfy both an auditory and visual learner. Thank you to our professor and the University of North Carolina Hill for putting this course out for anyone to access! more power to you and your team!

It's an outstanding course! Professor Hornstein is an excellent teacher, even if just an introduction to environmental law, we get to study a lot of important topics in more than a simple introductory way. Also, the readings recommended every week are very pertinent to learn not only theory, but what happens in the practice of environmental law. I wish the would update this course, adding another module, as it has passed some time since it was recorded.

I love how the professor bring the course alive. Very suitable for beginner and definitely an interesting way of presentation. It also helps that the text for all the videos are broken down per few minutes to help focus to both audio and visual learners. Each course also doesn't take that long and reading assignment is reasonable and actually adding onto the existing story so it doesn't feel like a burden reading them. I want more of this.

Le Cours intitulé "Introduction to Environmental Law and Policy" est très intéressant. Il permet d'avoir un regard sur des sujets de préocuupations environnementales et la manière dont la loi et les jurisprudences les abordent.

En tant que francophone, j'ai bien appris du Common Law. J'ai eu une idée sur les régulations environnementales aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique.

Les vidéos sont clairs et les cas sont bien choisis et adaptés aux thènes.

It was a real honor taking this course and learning from Professor Hornstein who works hard into making each lesson absolutely remarkable. The topics exposed were very interesting and learning about them from someone who's passion is captivating, and who shows to have great wisdom in them is an amazing experience. I more than recommend this course to anyone looking to learn more about environmental law and what it consolidates.

It was great, the course gives me a lot of knowledge about environmental law, and the practice of the law especially in USA. It's very important for us in developing country like Indonesia, because our forest are one of the world's lungs. We are still fighting the illegal logging, environmental pollution cased by industry, etc. Thanks to Professor Don Hornstein for the enjoyable and clear course. hope to see you next time.

Amazing course with such an awesome professor who even though being in a one-sided virtual class makes the students of this class feel as if they are actually present there and he takes so much efforts to make it interactive and a fun learning process by giving various out of the box hypotheticals and continuously makes the student work their brains to answer the questions. PS: Really loved his dress code for the lectures.

I am from Argentina south america. I am a lawyer. The classes are great and very dynamic and full of energy. The points are very clear and the teacher lawyer is excellent. I wish you can come to Argentina to a conference in our ENVIRONMENT MINISTERY for lawyers. Thank you very much. María Guadalupe Lo Cane Schloszarcsik Tisnés. ENGLISH TEACHER AND LAWER. I would very thankful to receive a certificate as an assistant.

The professor has an immense amount of charisma and a concise way of breaking down concepts. The content material is short and to the point. These short lectures allow the student to even explore philosophies of economics in detail giving a big picture to what the issues at hand are with Law, Policy, and Climate Change.

Great lectures, materials, discussions, and extremely effective Professor. Highly recommend.

I loved it so much! Dr. Hornstein is a great story-teller (and I love it more when he delivers it with a joke, I genuinely laugh!). The whole course really captures the essence of Environmental law and policy, it actually makes me reconsider my option for my master's degree pursue I might now lean towards environmental sciences and law! Thank you so much, Dr. Hornstein and The University of North Carolina!

Although I am EUropean, and the focus was on US law and regulation, this was an excellent course that in a simple yet clear and consise way presented the dilemmas and issues around environmental law and policy. The course gives an excellent basis to dwell more into the issue, in particular in EU law, who could greatly benefit from having such excellent lecturer and good structure as this course.

This is a great introduction to environmental law in the USA presented by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable professor. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to others. I believe it was first published around 2013 and it would be great to have an updated module or two added to the course, given the significant changes to US common law since, particularly recent Supreme Court decisions.

Wow it is been an interesting, fun and informative time spent with my most favorite professor in the world I had the privilege to learn from. Coming from a medical background with little knowledge of law and especially environmental law, Prof Don Hornstein simplified it and thus it reflected in my grade Looking forward to take any other course under him. Shout out to Prof and his team!

Professor Donald Hornstein is a wonderful teacher! He explains from the history of environmental law to the contemporary state with a view to the world legal regime. His insights at policy from Economics and Law from Statutes and Case law are delight to learn in fusion.

Although the course is set around in 2013-14, it has been great fun learning and has prepared me for future learning !

I loved this course! The professor is so enthusiastic and easy to follow, and I feel like I have the basic background knowledge that I need for my job now. It also helped me to interpret cases - I read the case (which he has condensed) each unit, tried to puzzle out what had happened, and then listened to his lecture to see if I got it right. Thank you Coursera and Professor Hornstein!!

Brilliant course, the content is interesting, challenging and well organised. Lessons are very easy to follow and a great effort was put in order to summarise all the cases. Every week you can learn something new and you really get the feeling that you have acquired a better understanding of basic Nord American Environmental case law (even if you are not familiar with law at all!).

Prof. Don Hornstein is great at introducing each and every concept related to environmental law and policy. I am a graduate student of Sustainable Infrastructure having no background in Law but I finished the course with 100% grade and learnt many aspects and terms of Law, specifically Environmental Law. I would like to thank Prof. Hornstein for the wonderful lectures.

The course gave me a valuable overview of existing legal tools in the US to protect the environment, as well as efforts at international level. Above all, it gave me an increased interest in environmental issues and solutions. Professor Hornstein is a wonderful and brilliant teacher, which not only makes the course interesting and easy to follow, but fun and engaging!

It is an excellent course for professionals who wants to pursue interdisciplinary research in environmental law. I must appreciate the efforts of Dr. Donald Hornstein for making the course really interactive and interesting too for the professionals who are from nonlaw backgrounds. Thanks to Coursera as well for providing such a platform to the global researchers.

This is an excellent course on Introduction to Environmental law and policy. The professor was exceptional in presenting the common law , Environmental law , statutes and constitutional provisions of United States and the Environmental laws through various case laws. It is really an opportunity to learn and I am thankful to Prof Donald Hornstein and the Coursera.

Hats Off to Prof. Don Hornstein and the team for putting together the best course for learners. One should not be surprised in gaining the ability of logical reasoning, as the Professor makes it so easy thought the course. Kindly look into the promise of "distinction" at the earliest. Will always be happy to take it up again just to see Prof Don Hornstein dance.

As someone studying Environmental Management in Europe, I was looking for a course that would give me an overview of Environmental Law and Policy in the United States to supplement my European studies. This course was exactly what was looking for. I learned a lot, and already feel better equipped when following environmental issues of our day and age. Thank you!

I enjoyed this course and Prof Hornstein's enthusiastic presentation. Having spent many years implementing the Safe Drinking Water Act and attempting to stay current with its never ending rule updates, I immediately think policy implementation when the term environmental law is used. However, I greatly enjoyed the theory and court cases that were presented.
