Pros: The course fundamental materials were good. Cons: The case study was discombobulated and not useful, and it didn't do enough LCA software tutorial.

The videos and materials provided by the course are interesting and useful, but the grading and evaluation processes are a mess. There's no indication on where to find the necessary data for the evaluation and the databases mentioned along the course are very expensive (thousands of dollars for a license). The evaluation is also dependent on peers-review which most of the times don't happen or are very inaccurate. Even along the graded quizzes per each module, random information is required to elaborate an answer which is not given in the question. It could be a very good course if it was not for the evaluation process and lack of explanation on how to find or process the data (which, in my opinion, is the most important topic when learning about LCAs...)
Challenging but great course
More information on software tools would be helpful
Excellent
This course was very useful, but be aware that having access to EcoInvent License is necessary for using Open LCA software , or have a SimaPro license to complete the LCI, LCIA.
good
This course is amazing. A course about LCA with direct-simulation is a must! Clearly delivered, easy to understand, and challenging assessment and tasks.
This is the best LCA course I found online. I was able to full fill all the gaps in my knowledge regarding the LCA. As a personal who is very passionate about sustainability and LCA, I recommend this course to all the people who have a thurst to learn the fundamentals of LCA.
I found this course to be intersting and well organized for people who want to know about life cycle assesement. The practical examples illustrated are excellent and goes in hand with what you have learned in theory. I reccomned to anyone who is intersted in applying Life cycle asssement in their daily routine and also organizational presepctive.
