I have enjoyed doing the course, and it has re wetted my interest in Geology. I would have liked more about pure Geology and less about mining and enviroment issues. I have already started using the additional features offered such as the Toolkit and links to other information.
Two Course queries
Section 2.5 the formula 2xAl + 3 X O should it not be written 2 X Al + 3 X O to be a least consistant
Section 2.6 is the Title not back to front, should it not read Soda Cans from Bauxite
