The course is not up date with current developments on the matter. As it is an international relations course, it should be regularly improved and developed. No information is given on when was it recorded/published.
Some materials are repetitive.
Tests are too easy.

The course is very interesting but it needs to be updated. There is no mention regarding the Venezuelan migration crisis, the Brexit, the evolvement of the GFMD in the past years, the Global compact on migration and on refugees, etc, the current role of IOM, etc.

Interesting content, though in a field like migration having few references that are more recent than 2015 is slightly disappointing!
Overall, would recommend for a broad understanding of the foundations of this field of study.

I learned a lot from the course however there was a lot of repetition, English translations were not of a good quality, there was not a variety of interactive ways to learn so it at points became quite tedious. I did enjoy the content, I just felt the presentation was severely lacking and wouldn't recommend this as a beginner level course.

I really enjoyed this course because helped me to understand better the Global Migration Phenomena as a result of Globalization and other factors, but specially how migration and development have a both side relationship. The course give you the global vision of the problem and if you are interested in starting learning about this theme I really recommend it to you.

Very good for anyone interested in the current refugee crisis, especially now that this issue may again become relevant with the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Overall, I enjoyed the course and found it informative on the issues up until the period it was created. However, here are a few things I wish I had known before signing up, which are likely mentioned by others as well:
There's a lack of perspectives and differing point of views on the issues.
Tests were quite easy and seemed to only focus on the most basic elements of what was taught that week.
Translations can be poor, or missing, at times.
Repetition: the amount of content to go through could easily be reduced by half, if not more.
And finally - this course is out of date and does not touch on any developments after 2016. It is great for providing information up until 2016, but if you want to learn about more recent events you will not find those details here.

I found that the course hammered away at the same perspective without offering alternative views, or even examining the reasons why governments try to control migration. However, as far as a learning modality, I found it accessible, practical and user-friendly.

as coarsely absolutely no sense. There were no tests or assignments, it was in English but the professor who presented it spoke French! What was the point of this course?

This is a great overview of how migration is a huge fact of study and to understand. It is really important to know how the world is changing and with it, every day brings new challenges. The main differences between governance and govern, the need to set up new policies, protocols, to encourage people to empower about human history and how big empires were build when the free of movement was not an impediment and people were free to achieve goals, moving forward according to their needs and motivations. I am more interested in exploring this whole new world of knowledge and understanding, historically attached to human rights but also to civil rights. Thank you for sharing such an important and relevant information.

Thanks to the course, I had an overview of the global migration issue, understood the history of migration, and international, regional and each country's policies on this issue. Migration is a phenomenon that has gradually become an inevitable trend of the process of development, integration and globalization. However, the world and each country seem unable to come up with regulations to control these migration flows properly, safely, ensuring human rights and humanity. The course provides huge amount of knowledge, interdisciplinary and an objective perspective to approach the issue of global migration.

The course content is relevant to the issues of migration. It provides a solid historical background on the evolution of migration globally particulary concerning Migration in Europe. The last weeks of the course was crowned by the recent happens in the world regarding migration, global intervention, and outlined initiatives such as the Global Forum on Migration and Development and the activities of civil society and the link of migration to the Millennium Development Goals.

Este curso es de mucha importancia para quienes tratan de entender los fen贸menos sociales contempor谩neos y tratan de dilucidar el futuro de la sociedad. El rol de las instituciones, los Estados, la econom铆a, las minor铆as o las mayor铆as, en frente de urgencias humanas como la movilidad. Me pareci贸 un curso fascinante que me va a permitir investigar por mi propia cuenta m谩s informaci贸n al respecto y relacionada con mi regi贸n.

I really enjoyed every single reading and video. Lots of information perfectly well organized. The insights and light they give to each topic are profound, and very well thought.
Thank you for having this high level of analysis and introspection for a topic that is still in the shadows for many and that needs so much more exposure and global input.

Excelente curso, los videos son did谩cticos y se complementan bien con los textos. Muy interesantes los acercamientos de la profesora y las fuentes bibliogr谩ficas que utiliza. Genera reflexi贸n en torno a las relaciones de poder de la migraci贸n que se establecen Norte-Sur. Recomendado.

The "International Migrations: A Global Issue" course provides an in-depth examination of global migration patterns, policies, and their socio-economic impacts. It tackles the complex interplay between migration, state sovereignty, human rights, and global governance.

Course with interesting content. The first few weeks are a more globally-focused, but then on it takes a strong European focus. Videos are in French and are clear, and English subtitles are available for non-French speakers. I found the tests a bit too easy though.

Es un curso que te instruye sobre el proceso que ha tenido a lo largo de la historia el tema de las migraciones internacionales y todos los pro y contra que este fenomeno conlleva para los diferentes pa铆ses de salida y acogida. Un excelente curso.
