    have enjoyed the lectures since are easily understood and well organized. my attempt to the quiz was somehow poor due to the poor connectivity ability between me and the server.

  • Minarul Islam
    From this course, I learned about global citizenship which is the idea that one's identity transcends geography or political borders and that responsibilities or rights are derived from membership in a broader class: "humanity".
