學生對 麦考瑞大学 提供的 Analysing Complexity 的評價和反饋

The early part of the course does not make a compelling argument for why we need to analyse complexity. The lectures are interesting but not helpful for use in business.

Firstly to say I only did an audit of this course, so I didn't do the tasks. I had already followed the Big History general course. What I found with this course was that many of the Big History themes are repeated, that part is OK. But the the subject specific videos felt like "here's a summary of this topic and why its complex" and what I was expecting was "here's the challenges in this area and this is how complexity theory is being applied and what it might mean". The exception was the economics lecture in week 5 which did link back to complexity theory being applied to economics. Week 6 brought things together to some extent. It is the first course in a specialization but many of the videos didn't meet my expectation.

The course is really knowledgeable, interesting and useful, particularly, for those who are interested in the domain of complexity.

You should study Complexity from this course if you are interesting in complex system.

Super interesting course, I have never seen in my lifetime.

Watch me ;))

Course material seems to be an advertisement for the Big History program. While the material discussed shows complexity, it often times seems more like it's own lesson and not about the complexity topic being discussed. I often had to fight to relate the material back to the actual course topic due to the examples being too specific. If you aren't familiar with biology/atomic structures, then the lesson is easily lost due to the chosen example. First lesson in communicating is to know your audience, examples should be relatable to everyone.

This course is much beyound a simple step-by-step guide to solving problems, nor even is limited to a business-focused approach. Prepare yourself to explore variate subjects you may have never heard of and to consider problem-solving for absolutely unexpected perspectives, from starts to fungi. As part of a four-courses specialization, this first experience provides more questions than answers, opening the way for the next couse (evaluating problems).

This course has enabled me to think deeply about how natural and artificial systems behave similarly whether it is a cellular automaton or an ecosystem, we can implement what we have learned from one and apply it to the other one and vice versa because they both at the most fundamental level are composed of underlying adaptive systems which control how they behave and increase and sustain complexity.

The first module Evaluating problems from the specialization Solving Complex Problems is a great Introduction into the complexity. The course provide views on the complexity from different points of view, such as economy, medicine, biology, etc. The module has met my expectations. Anyone who is interested in complexity (and decision-making) should take this course.

Even though I have studied complexity, and had journal articles published on the subject, this course is admirably clear and promises to be the first part of a really practical insight into solving a particular problem - or at least, suggesting innovative approaches to it.

I loved this course. Very interesting from an holistic point of view. We get to learn and to get a big picture of the World's history since the very first beginnings. Congratulations to the Big History Institute and to Macquarie University! It's well worth it.

This course is simply amazing and fits all the students´s needs as it offers a transdicisplinary and practical knowledge on Complexity! Thank you very much for providing us with a such an outstanding course!

This is a fascinating topic. I've been looking for something to provide a solid base for knowledge and this appears to be it. It gives me a different perspective about life and life challenges.

Me gusto el curso. Una visión muy interesante acerca de porque aumenta la complejidad del ambiente que nos rodea aunque ello contradiga el segundo principio de la termodinámica.

Amazing course, a compleately new perspective for starting ro define and see problems,

I have understood the world in a different perspective after doing this course 1.

Very interesting course. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Great content! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This is the pinpoint of career change!

enjoyed the complexity :)

so great, I´m happy

great way to learn

Amazing!
