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.

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.
