Comprehensive "travel" through international migration issues. Related concepts are very well explained and facilitate understanding of several aspects and hidden interrelations.

Overall, the course is interesting and I liked it. But, unfortunately, the lectures are in French with English subtitles, which somewhat reduces the perception of the material.

Cours intéressant présentant, d'un point de vue français mais aussi global, les enjeux autour de la migration internationale.

I enjoyed the course but it was a little bit slow and I would want it to have subtitles in Spanish as well.

The course content was good, seemed curated and simplified for all learners, it's easily accessible to most. However, the assessment could be more meaningful and challenging to actually make learners think critically about the issue of global migration. The course could benefit from implementing more interactive tools other than multiple choice assessments based on mere memory and a forum. Overall, I would recommend! Just make sure you are an autonomous learner and create your own tasks to make the learning meaningful.

Certainly, this is an interesting historical course on global aspects of international migration. unfortunately it doesnt take into account any changes in migration policy and dynamics post Arab spring nor 2015 migratory crisis. Globally and regionally the landscape of international migration change dramatically with total policy shift in Europe and new Global compacts on migration and asylum. Hence the course is outdated and last 2-3 weeks of course shall be changed

Insgesamt spannend. Allerdings waren die Videos auf Französisch, obwohl als Kurssprache Englisch angeben war. Die deutschen Untertitel waren häufig nicht gut. Da in den Videos nichts außer die (französische) Sprecherin zu sehen ist ohne zusätzliche Infos (z.B. Infografiken, Bilder, Videos), habe ich irgendwann nur noch das Skript der Videos gelesen. Dadurch bestand der Kurs nur aus dem Lesen von Texten, was ein bisschen einseitig war.

extremely helpful and relevant to what I am currently pursuing. but the only suggestion would be that, given the fact that I am a student who has not learnt French, it would be helpful if the audio was in english too so that I can understand the authenticity and complexity of the issue better.

The course is translated from French to English. Unfortunately the translation is extremely poor. There are 5 lines sentences with no full stop.... Besides the poor translation, the content is very repetitive, lacks references, and not updated. The text is more like mumbling rather than an academic text. I wouldn't recommend this course as it's a waste of money and time. Instead I recommend the course provider to improve the quality of the content they offer.
