TOP REVIEWS FROM COMMUNICATING DURING GLOBAL EMERGENCIES
Excellent course! But, the peer review assignment questions sometimes have to be made less ambiguous, clearer, and more specific.
Good enough. But 3 weeks is too short for this amazing course. I didn't really like the assignments. But the overall course material and goal were really awesome.
Great insights and key learning on communication during global emergencies. The right message at the right time from the right person can save lives!
Very informative for organization as well as for people who want to serve the communities during Global Emergencies.
