This course helped me clarify several inconsistencies I held about government function that I had and how to lead a meaningful participation in its democracy which, I think, is by far better protected and advanced than many-many countries in the world. Thanks for your teachings!

I really enjoyed this digital course and would recommend it to all that are interested in forming a comprehensive basic understanding of American Democracy! As someone interested in the field of political science I found this course particularly helpful in introducing me to the world of government and providing me with the basic guidelines and fundamental institutions that create the world's greatest democracy. The videos are clear, concise, and easy to follow, and the progress checks ensured my understanding. This course has so much to offer in what took me around 8 hours!

So happy I took this course. Clear, informative instruction by professors I would like to take more classes with. I would recommend this course to anyone new to, or seeking a refresher on the fundamentals of U.S. civics and how our government works.

I am happy to have taken this course and it has allowed me to gain a further understanding of the topics. It really provides the basics of the American democratic system and the role of various actors. It also teaches students how to be a participant in the democracy. However, the questioning of established practices and diversity of standpoints does is only present to a very limited extent. For example, the idea of objective news was introduced without mentioning that a huge debate exists on whether objective news is possible as everything is written by humans. It is probably because this is not the aim of the course, but it's good to realise this beforehand. Otherwise, the course serves as a good basis to further one's understanding of the US democratic system. Overall, good work! Thank you to everyone who has made this possible.
