During the course, there was the request that errors in the script should be made known if possible so that the script text could be corrected. I submitted various corrections but cannot see that they have been implemented and am wondering if and how such consructive submissions are actually heeded by the organisers of the course.

Some of the material that was to be downloaded was not possible and when I sent an enquiry on how to access the docments/information, I received no response. This is not conducive to motivating participants when they have the feeling that no one is attending their queries.

I would like to know how the system works on this type of course as the previous courses I have enrolled in were of a different nature than this one.

I found the challenges of composing essays on the individual themes each week quite a challenge and enjoyed researching the themes even though we were restricted in the number of words permitted. Sometimes I was disappointed that some participants did not fulfil the required number of words and again wondered how the organisers deal with such submissions?

How is it possible to receive a feedback from Simon Rolfe?

Looking at some of the +submissions over the weeks, I noticed that some were quite "old", i.e. a few years old and was wondering if the content of the videos was similar and just generalities were being put forward. The link to some further reading was also not of the recent past, does this mean that standard material is being used and not updated?

In general, I found that the videos in week 5 were a resume of the previous ones with considerable repetitions and another issue that puzzled me was the fact that after week 4 I was informed that I had "passed" the course when, in my opinion, the most challenging essay was the one to be submitted was at the end of week 5. How is this possible? Was the essay at the end of week 5 not of importance to the organisers of the course?

I would appreciate an acknowledgement of my comments and some answers as well. Thank you!

This course is a nice introduction to the world of diplomacy but there are certain things that I would change or might need adjustment. Such as the reading for week 2 had nothing to do with the theme of the Success and Failures of a Diplomate. Or at least I didn't understand it to directly relate to the theme. Possibly an explanation as to how this relates to the theme of the week would be helpful or what one is looking for when looking at the material. The videos are really nice and refreshing while not being too long or empty. Some might see that task of reviewing other students to be bit gruelling, I think that they were helpful and also gave me perspective into how other might have seen the concepts that we were given. I might personally change the reviewing task into a response task to what other students feel to other students statements and if they agree to them or not. But this isn't necessarily better than the reviewing instead an alternative that I prefer that might seem more helpful or beneficial.
