•The course is an introductory course in the subject. I really want another one which is more focused on the cultural approach, given that we are facing many multicultural challenges in the work environment. Dealing with too much differences could be frustrating. Trying to communicate better then becomes a must. Thank you

•老师的讲解言简意赅，ppt很生动。
最让我印象深刻的是week 6关于新媒体的观点，老师引述的柏拉图的一段话“新媒体会让学习者越来越健忘，因为它们没有用上自己的记忆能力；能听到一大堆东西，却并不能学到点什么；他们显得全知全能，却又疑问三不知；它们会组成一个乏味的团体，仅仅会展示一些不以真实为基础的智慧。”
不知整段话出自何时何人时，会想当然认为这是在批判当下网络。然而所谓的媒体，不论在哪个历史节点出现，于那个时代而言，都是全新的。在为这个知识点感到惊喜之余，也对柏拉图或许无意为之的“预言”能力深深折服。
第一次完整修完一门课，虽然回顾全程，与其在学传播学，不如说是训练英语听、写能力更合适囧 Anyway，总算一个好开始，继续加油。

•I am the student of Communication Science in Indonesia. Before join this course, I have studied the introduction of communication science in the 1st semester of my lecture. But I have still no idea what communication is. This course is so helpful for me to learn the basic of communication.

•Very good lecture in selected content and presentation (interesting, motivating, concise and precise).
The course could improve by providing a written script in addition to the excellent lectures, as this would make summarizing the material and preparing for the tests easier.

•A lively introduction to the basic theories of Communication Science with a very easy-to-follow approach. I was getting into Journalism at the time I took this course and it has helped me a lot in the acquisition of some fundamental knowledge.

•Proper crash course for beginners into communication science. Fun and funny at times. Although needs time to unpack most of the information packed in this, still works as a precursor to heavy lifting required for communication science.
By Kadri A
•Intresting and well structured course to give an overview of communication science, inc the history of it. It is not a hands on course to learn something to do but a good introduction course. I did it before going deeper into PR.
By Rong T
•Good course. I would like it better if there are more depth in theories and analysis/examples used in lectures are more reflecting social media and the use of more cutting edge innovation in communication technology.
By Carl M

•I didn't like the fact that you could not earn a statement of accomplishment but only a verified certificate.
Other than that the course was pretty interesting.

•Muy puntual y sintético. Cumple con las expectativas. El único defecto es la falta de subtítulos en español en algunos vídeos.
By 易海菲
•老师真的好帅！！大大的眼镜，盯忽闪忽闪地看着你，萌得酥了！！传播学的入门，难度一般，偏理论，需要认真做笔记，不然过几天就会忘。手绘漫画风的课件很有趣，给的例子也很生动。第一次的MOOC课程 很开心～
