The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered a wide range of topics, from poverty reduction to environmental sustainability. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the online platform was user-friendly. One thing that really stood out to me was the diversity of the student body - I got to connect with people from all over the world, which was awesome.
