TOP REVIEWS FROM GIVING 2.0: THE MOOC
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.
Great overview of philantrophy, a framework for thinking about one's resources in order to create the biggest impact. Loads of guest speakers and resources for life-long giving and learning.
Fantastic course, so carefully and cleverly put together. Very inspiring, many thanks for running this - it will help me become a better giver and encourage others to do so as well!
