This is the ideal course for anyone who wants a peek into what diplomacy actually is. After this course, I learnt that diplomacy is required in everyone's life, in each of our day to day activities.

Quite an interesting course. Some of the readings I couldn't access, and videos lacked depth in terms of subject, Overall was enjoyable and recommend for those interesting in international affairs.

Fruitful materials for reference, yet the structure of whole course relies on bite-size interviews of scholars, which might seem lack of systematic teaching throughout the whole subject.

This MOOC touches only lightly on Diplomacy. While its title states that it'll be addressing "the modern world", many requested readings are actually from the 20th century.

The course was very instructive. I appreciated the readings and videos very much. The course could benefit from more videos further explaining the various readings.

It is alright but several people take advantage of the lax review criteria to submit one letter reviews. Better grading system would be good. Material is all fine.

Yeah, this course is REALLY different from other MOOCs. I wonder if I can learn anything from a course that contains such little content.

Good to know how many academics and professions think about diplomacy but very few concrete concepts and examples given by lecturers

The course is easy to understand. However, it lacks practical application and just focused on concept explanation as tasks.
