Well-packaged instructional set that combines video lectures, readings, and testing in a manageable approach on the part of the student.

☼ i was quite surprised by how my mind was changed and by how even the things i thought i was well versed in, like the number of places things can be killed in comte: oh, it is well worse! The need for childcare is important enough to be grouped in w/healthcare - i see that now. & we need to eat the billionaires (and above). i thought that was leftist rhetoric, but you need 3 generations just to get back on ones feet BECAUSE of a system that allows wealth accumulation at that scale. & you dont have to be racist or sexist for it to happen - it is so clear. & it will not end on its own. So it can not be allowed.* A great course.

(*after the first 150Mil.& obvi no inheritance death tax. i mean we arent savages.)

This is a brilliantly developed course by Prof Robertson which gives in depth information and insights into how public policy is formulated within the United States. It also helps to understand how the benefits of government policies accrue unequally across people in which race, age, gender and ethnicity play an importat role.

This course makes me understand what poverty really is, what is needed, how to approach it and what can be done as a policy-maker.

The first half of the course was a little redundant, but the second half on government was EXCELLENT!!! Thanks again!

Highly informative and skill enhancing course on demographic considerations in policy development

Great course. .. thanks...

really helpful ,too good

It's Very great for me

Very very Perfect

Excellent course!

excellent course

fine

It is an excellent course that helps me better understand general social welfare in the United States, which is very unique compared to that in other Western countries. The instructor can very well explain and discuss complex issues that allows me as a non-American citizen to follow the contents easily. Thank you very much for offering the wonderful course.

I had a great time listening to all of the Professors talk about this topic. I think stuff like poverty, inequality, and the conversations of how race and gender affect things like that to be very important and something that I intend to learn about throughout my studies in order to involve it in my broader career/s in life.

¡Excelente aprendizaje! mil gracias por el tiempo dedicado a la elaboración de cada uno de estos módulos tan interesantes. El conocimiento adquirido es necesario e importante para la actualidad.

Solo una indicación, ojala todos los vídeos fueran en español también y algunos textos que aun están en ingles.

An amazing course if you want to know more about poverty, demographics and social policy in the US. The lecturer seems passionate and we can feel it. If you are a foreign student looking forward to studying in the US, then you should follow this course for sure.

I really enjoyed this course. My goal was the specific part of demography as a public policy tool, but I enjoyed the entire course content. Professor John Robertson has the ability to explain the most complex topics in a clear and simple way.

This course is very useful in increasing my knowledge. America's poverty alleviation policy can be one of the best practices for undeveloped countries. Thank you for the course, Prof. John Robertson, Columbia University, dan Coursera.

A brief but comprehensive overview of policy-making in terms of social work. Explanations are really easy to understand. This made me want to pursue my master's in social work instead of public policy now.

It was a great learning and easy to understand. The reading materials were so helpful. I will choose more courses related to development and planning.

Very insightful, well-organized, and interesting guest speakers. Overall an experience I would recommend!

It is an amazing course. It is changing my life.

Thank you Columbia, school of social work and coursera!

I love this class. The instructor makes it easy to understand. Topics are so interesting!

This is a wonderful course to refresh your knowledge and get an idea of the US's system.
