I found the International Development course to be a great introduction to the field. As someone from Egypt, I was interested in learning more about the challenges and opportunities facing developing countries. The course provided a solid foundation in the key concepts and theories, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications. One of the highlights of the course was the group project, where we worked on a case study of a development project in a African country. It was a great way to apply the concepts we learned in class and develop our teamwork and problem-solving skills. Overall, I'm happy with the course, but I think it could be improved with more feedback from instructors and peers.

The International Development course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. As a student from India, I was interested in learning more about the development challenges facing my country and the wider region. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the key issues and concepts, and I appreciated the focus on practical skills and knowledge. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the section on project management, which provided a detailed overview of the tools and techniques used in development projects. I also appreciated the opportunity to engage with students from other countries and learn about their experiences and perspectives. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, but I think it could be improved with more opportunities for feedback and discussion.
