TOP REVIEWS FROM GIVING 2.0: THE MOOC
I absolutely loved this course and all of the information that was provided. I can now be a responsible giver.
I enjoyed the course and it has given me ideas on how to be a philanthropist and to do bigger assignments.
Amazing course I feel so ready to help the world become better everyday!!
So thankful!
The course is nice. Very informative. But -
Little upset, since there is no provision of completion/grade certificates. A little recognition paper is a point of motivation for all students.
