The Public Policy and Governance course was a great way to learn about the intricacies of policy-making and governance. I found the lectures to be well-structured and easy to follow, and the assignments were challenging but manageable. One thing that really stood out to me was the discussion on international relations and how they impact public policy - it was fascinating to see how different countries approach similar issues. The course materials were solid, but I would have liked to see more diverse perspectives represented. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel like I gained some valuable insights.
