The course provided a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and theories in political communication, and I appreciated the attention given to non-Western contexts. The instructor's use of examples from Indian politics was particularly helpful in making the course material more relatable. I found the discussions on political marketing and the role of social media in elections to be especially insightful. While some of the course readings were quite dense, the instructor's summaries and explanations helped to clarify the main points. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it has enhanced my knowledge of political communication in India.
