The methodology of the course is the best. Thanks to Coursera for providing a platform for removing the boundaries to reach such institutes for people like us who have no such resources.

It was a very nice course. I have learned many new things. What I would have liked to see, however, is some of the video materials (provided in form of links) to be played during the videos.

Very useful course for those who want to learn more about how international organizations function. Even though I've worked for the UN for the past 6 years, I still found the content very useful.

A really interesting course, however the title should be modified to specify precisely that the course centres mainly on the United Nations and brand marketing/fundrasing for charitable entites
