This MOOC does not match the quality of others I have taken. The video lectures jump into decision theory and do not present any context or understanding of the EU's present-day structure except to refer publicly available material on europa.eu. In short, this course is not very coherent without significant self-study (so what's the point?). In only the first week, "European Business Law: Understanding the Fundamentals" from Lund University actually gave me a better understanding of EU, by starting with the history and looking at the various treaties and principles in them.

First of all, I had great difficulties to understand the accent of the tutors in this course. Sometimes, the videos were not matching the subtitles.

It is a great course, however for the tasks requiring research on specific countries of EU, it was very hard to find answers to certain questions due to missing information on EUROSTAT and not only. Meanwhile i was searching for the specific information from the national institutions (it takes sometimes up to 2 weeks to have an official answer from administration), i found that the questions were totally changed, which thing added hardship to my already existent struggle. Topping up with the fact that for the following month I had to pay a renewal, right, for not completing the course within one month. So, economically speaking, to pay extra 50$ for the course and a total of 100$ is not worth.

That's my opinion about the course. Maybe others would find it different. I like EU law though and I m willing to pursue with other course.

Course could be a lot more interesting with smaller case studies, real life examples and actual data in videos and breakdown of that data, interpretation and analysis rather than having multiple research paper readings corresponding to each video. Although research papers are appreciated and are a form of great academic knowledge, too many of them don't serve the purpose of "learning" for people who are new to the entire policy formation process.

Otherwise, the course is brilliant with it's content and the depth it chooses to go into. With a few minor changes, this could get a lot more interesting.

Thank you!

This course has been excellent, very well-focused and complete. Really enjoyed learning about policy making processes in the EU. All I've learnt will be very useful for the type of work I do, I'm sure.

Great course! It offers you important knowledge about the EU policy making process and shows and explains you the tools you need for a good analysis and which will help you to get the best results.

Amazing for people who want an insight about international politics even if they're not in university

Great course, I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about policymaking and policy implementation.

Great course. A lot of lecture, very good speaker. Concrete exemple.

Need a high involvement.

Helped me a lot to have a clear picture of how the EU functions through it's institutions.

Fantastic course. Thank you Mr Steunenberg, UL and Coursera for making this happen.

i give 5star very interesing course thumbs up 👍 EU policy and implementation🤩🤩

Bom curso, mas deveria mostrar as respostas correctas quando vemos o feedback

Exactly what I expected to learn from this course, excellent!

very sufficient and good videos to learn how eu work

Loved the course, it was perfect!

I like it very much

amazing, i love it

Excellent

A very thorough course which could easily be upgraded to a postgraduate certificate and/ or Masters degree. It could use a bit of editing regarding some typos and level of English and most possibly an update to 2024 onwards but other than that extremely interesting and informative. Thank you very much.

The first two lectures were a bit difficult for someone like me without any politic/socioenomic experience. i think that the course would benefit from a more detailed introduction. Overall it is a great course and I really enjoyed doing it!

Great course, learned a lot about the mechanisms of policy formulation and implementation in EU and got excited about implementation in my area!

Great opportunity to have insights into EU decision-making process and think of it in a structured way.

Great informative course!

Buen curso

The lectures made by the professor were really helpful and provided many insights into policy making within the EU. However, some tasks such as filling air pollution standards were not that insightful. Also, unsynchronized subtitles were a bit annoying same for the poor sound from invited professors in air pollution videos of chapters 4 and 5.
