Course Reviews

  • Dilshod Hamroboev
    Thank you for organizing this course; the lectures, quizzes, and documentaries were very helpful for me to fully be engaged in the topic through various activities. I have a positive feedback, however, I think we need to tell about weaknesses as well.

    For me, the weakness of this course was the participation of the students in the Forums. I did not get responses from people to my comments. Last year in the course, "Voice of Youth: Youth Advocacy for GCED", the participation of the students in forums was very high. I had almost 200 comments on my thoughts and was getting responses when I write a comment on other people`s thoughts. However, in this course, the participation of people was very low. Maybe it was because there are around 10000 people taking this course but still I think organizers will have to take a consideration on this issue for the next time.

    Thank you very much,
    Dilshod Hamroboev

    We don't have enough opportunities to learn about SDGs and Global citizenship in my environnement, I am glad I had the chance to take the course, and I am looking forward for more.

    The more we have the knowledge, the more our vision will be cleared.
