It is intense course. have lots of quiz and a little bit confusing when first listen and read.

Dutch English is not very clear but the course content is great. It helps me gain lots of perspectives and insight to understand our behaviors to make ethical judgment. Love the final assignment, it is difficult but helps refresh a lot of knowledge in class! Thank you!

Great course! An interesting an necessary topic of discussion for Media professionals. The classes are clear and present the students with up to date examples to illustrate the theories seen within the course. The final assignment gives the student the opportunity to put theory to practice with a real case scenario.

I liked the course and it helped me grasp the basics of media ethics as well as making me qualified enough to reflect on my own ethical choices. One thing that I thought was missing is there could be more questions asked in the MOOC to encourage learners to conduct a self-assessment.
