Quite interesting course with nice test of whether you are an adventure seeker or not (put on different scales and aspects). Biological and environmental effects are given. As a downside - I didn't find it very practical for myself except for that test.
Phenomenal. Professor Carter is great. I wish the lectures were longer.
