The course provides an insight into the world of diplomacy with recent examples of failures and successes. I would highly recommend this course to policy makers and also to those seeking to widen their horizons in diplomacy.

For anyone who believes diplomacy to be still the occupation of upper middle class, middle-aged white males this course is an eye-opener. It has been enhanced for me by the great feedback from my fellow students.

It is a general course regarding the basic concepts and questions of diplomacy. It could be a good introduction to someone not familiarized with the concept.

Note: The reading material could be better updated.

An engaging course on diplomacy which i believe will help me in future endeavours. In particular, this work helped me understand how some leaders (Trump, Johnson) lack the skills outlined in this course.

The professor Dr Rofe has genuinely made an attempt to bring in various view points. It helps in gaining the basic understanding of diplomacy and diplomats. The study material provided is actually good.

I would like to have seen more videos showing individual (outstanding) diplomats and listened to them discuss why their recent negotiation was difficult and how they worked through it.

The course was well structured but a little basic at times. For the most part, it seemed almost entirely common sense. But the readings and the classmate reviews were very interesting.

Peer-reviewed assignments occasionally make it difficult to finish the course on time, as you have to wait for peers to rate your work. Being able to shift course streams helps this!

All the content was really informative, and I found the videos engaging and interesting. My only issue is that some of the assigned readings were unavailable or difficult to access.

Good and interesting content. However, I would like to have more practice or examples because the course is enormous theoretical and depends on your personal knowledge.

They let you take the course for free, but you must pay 46$ for the certificate. Makes no sense. It is missing quizzes, you're not really evaluated, very subjective.

I really liked the course and gained quite some knowledge. It would have been better if international relations would have been added but still a good learning curve.

I enjoyed the course and completed it with ease. What i found interesting is that diplomacy is not only state to state relations. There are different levels to it.

Interesting but not very challenging, sometimes a lot of repetition in the opinions. I would have liked to see more examples of diplomacy in our world of today.
