I found the 'Writing for Policy Makers' course to be quite useful, especially in terms of learning how to structure and write effective policy briefs. The course covered a lot of ground, from the basics of policy analysis to more advanced topics like stakeholder engagement and policy evaluation. I appreciated the variety of case studies and examples used to illustrate key concepts, which helped to make the material feel more relevant and applicable. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, and the online discussion forums were a great way to connect with other students and get feedback on my work. One area for improvement might be to include more examples from different regions or countries, to give students a broader perspective on policy-making. Nonetheless, I'm generally satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to improve their policy writing skills.
