It was a very nice course. I have learned many new things. What I would have liked to see, however, is some of the video materials (provided in form of links) to be played during the videos.

The methodology of the course is the best. Thanks to Coursera for providing a platform for removing the boundaries to reach such institutes for people like us who have no such resources.

It is usually only related to the UN. The economic aspects could be expanded. Other aspects of other organizations should also be included. The test are with high quality.
