What a great way to gain insight into the work and structure of international organizations. I'm even more motivated now than I was before to participate in these important missions.

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.

Over all the course is good which gives a glace about IOs. But inside the sessions the sound changing due to the video recording from different cameras is very annoying.thank you
