I found the 'Ecological Building Materials and Techniques' course to be a great introduction to the world of sustainable building. As a student from Egypt, I was interested in learning more about the practical applications of eco-friendly materials and techniques in the Middle Eastern context. The course provided a good overview of the different types of green materials available, as well as the benefits and challenges of using them in construction projects. I appreciated the emphasis on cost-benefit analysis and the discussion of local and cultural factors that influence the adoption of sustainable building practices. While I would have liked more in-depth information on certain topics, overall I'm happy with the course and feel that it has given me a solid foundation for further learning.
