TOP REVIEWS FROM RISK IN MODERN SOCIETY
A great overview of Risk in modern society, well explained and informative!
I got a good understanding of the difference between safety and security. However, the course could be a little bit longer and in some parts more deeper.
This course was very informative. It went in a direction I totally did not expect. Really gave me a lot to envision and think about, and have some kind of insight into.
Lost of very good information on each category. The examples were very good to explain concepts and the instructors were each to understand. Overall, good summary/ brief course to risk
