The course was well structured but a little basic at times. For the most part, it seemed almost entirely common sense. But the readings and the classmate reviews were very interesting.

Peer-reviewed assignments occasionally make it difficult to finish the course on time, as you have to wait for peers to rate your work. Being able to shift course streams helps this!

All the content was really informative, and I found the videos engaging and interesting. My only issue is that some of the assigned readings were unavailable or difficult to access.

Good and interesting content. However, I would like to have more practice or examples because the course is enormous theoretical and depends on your personal knowledge.

This was an interesting journey. Information was not just given to you randomly. There were given to the Learner bit on bit as a sort of building upon the foundation.

They let you take the course for free, but you must pay 46$ for the certificate. Makes no sense. It is missing quizzes, you're not really evaluated, very subjective.

I really liked the course and gained quite some knowledge. It would have been better if international relations would have been added but still a good learning curve.

I enjoyed the course and completed it with ease. What i found interesting is that diplomacy is not only state to state relations. There are different levels to it.

Interesting but not very challenging, sometimes a lot of repetition in the opinions. I would have liked to see more examples of diplomacy in our world of today.

Informative but I did not like how I had to wait for other students work to progress. Also I would have preferred actual teacher to mark my work.

Buen curso. Excelente opción para introducirse en el tema. Módulos bastante generales, quizás se podría profundizar un poco más en las materias.
