I took the Mining and Quarrying Explosives course at Stanmore School of Business to improve my knowledge of explosives and their applications in mining. The course was pretty cool, and I learned a lot about the different types of explosives, their properties, and how to use them safely and effectively. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided many examples of real-world scenarios, which helped me understand the concepts better. I also appreciated the discussions on environmental and social impacts of mining, which made me think about the broader implications of my work. The course materials were decent, but I felt that some of the topics could have been covered in more depth. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others, but I think it could be improved with more detailed examples and case studies.

I completed the Mining and Quarrying Explosives course at Stanmore School of Business as part of my ongoing professional development as a geotechnical engineer. The course provided a thorough overview of the principles and practices of explosives engineering, with a focus on practical applications and case studies. I appreciated the detailed explanations of the different types of explosives and their properties, as well as the discussions on blasting techniques and safety protocols. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with many useful examples and illustrations. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more advanced topics, such as numerical modeling and simulation. Nevertheless, I found the course to be highly relevant and useful, and I would recommend it to others in the field. Overall, I am satisfied with the course and would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
