I found the International Development course at Stanmore School of Business to be quite informative, although some parts were a bit dry. The course covered a wide range of topics, from human rights to environmental sustainability, which was great for broadening my knowledge. I particularly appreciated the section on gender equality and its importance in development projects. The instructors were generally good, but sometimes the lectures felt a bit too theoretical. However, the discussions and group work were always engaging and helpful for applying the concepts to real-world scenarios. The course materials were well-organized, and the readings were relevant, although sometimes a bit too lengthy. Overall, it was a solid course that helped me gain a better understanding of international development, but it could benefit from more interactive and practical elements.

I completed the International Development course at Stanmore School of Business with a sense of accomplishment and newfound knowledge. The course was well-structured, and the instructors were experienced professionals in the field. I appreciated the focus on African development issues, which was particularly relevant to my context. The course covered a range of topics, including poverty reduction, healthcare, and education, and provided a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. One of the most useful skills I gained was the ability to design and implement monitoring and evaluation frameworks for development projects. The course materials were generally good, although some of the readings were a bit too academic. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone interested in international development, particularly those working in the African context. However, I think it could benefit from more emphasis on innovative and technology-driven solutions to development challenges.
