It seems to me a basic but very interesting course on the concepts of Diplomacy. Many times you don't think about diplomacy as it is presented to us, but it is something abstract that we assume happens, but we leave aside the reasons and the ways in which it is carried out. A course that I highly recommend and especially for the readings they provide.

Really loved this course, I was unable to finish my degree due to health issues a few years ago and loved this subject. So in preparation for my return to university (yay!) I decide to brush up. Also kept me sane during this pandemic, definitely worth even if its just for interest sake. Hope you enjoy the course as much as I did, and good luck!

Interesting course -- very good introduction to diplomacy, with interesting historical context. I appreciated the video interviews and the readings, which culminated in an especially excellent week 5 reading. In thinking through opportunities for improvement, I suspect an in-depth case study for close examination may benefit future learners.

The course of Global Diplomacy - Diplomacy in the Modern World is an excellent overview of the definition of diplomacy according to several experts, how they characterise success and failure of diplomacy. I learnt of how to observe diplomacy in action, its incremental temporal facets and the key skills that a good diplomat needs to possess.

Eclectic mix of video panelists was refreshing since video unviewable and wall of transcript text includes unedited communication crutches.
Selected course readings compelling for further reading because very basic.
Subtle and no dogmatic posturing with information everyone else can get for free online now.
Helpful directed material!!

What I want to say first is the I loved the course style. First you are providing different personalities' views on the topic, then you provide reading, then final video. I really enjoyed the course.

I enjoyed my time learning in this course. But I actually have a concern: even though the materials were difficult enough for me to study (FYI: I am not a student from social science background), should not this course have been more challenging especially for them who pursued a verified certificate like me? What is your opinion?

Having met professional professors with sizable exposure in your online learning platform, I discovered studying this course stimulating and inspiring. However; As I have successfully completed the it and paid $ 49, I have no longer acquired the certificate. Even did not get any further replace on while to get hold of it.

This course was interesting and different. It is not a usual MOOCS as you can interact, you have to send in assignments, and you are reviewed by your peers - which makes everything better because we are all on the same track. I would highly recommend it, plus the information is relevant for our difficult times as well.

A very interesting course. Helpful to understand what is happening in our world and how to interpret it critically. The used methodology (e-tivities and final reflection) helps to give away a pedantic approach and gives the opportunity to exchange valuable contributions and be part of a learning community.
