This is a great course. It foster curiosity for creative thinking and innovation from a global economy perspective. I am now aware of global trends, inequalities, economic threats and opportunities.

It's a very informative course, a great way to see a big picture of world issues. The only thing is that most of the data is from 2015.

The courseisat it's best when centered on data.

insightful and illuminating. It would be beneficial to bring the course up to date as some of the data is quite old now.

Great overview, but regrettably the content is becoming dated (2015/16).

The course offers a cursory overview of the past century or so in terms of trade, global conflict, and the balance of power. I thought the course could have been more engaging and thought provoking. I found the interruptions of the lecture with the professor's on-location videos to be jarring and disconnected to the lecture. Had he actually showed us something interesting that illuminated his point, that would have been useful. Last, there was little discussion of the implications of global trends for business. As a student, you'll have to draw the connections between global trends and the impact on business and making a better world.

While the course was fairly informative, it was clearly west-centric and tailored to learners in either the US or Europe. The data is outdated (for 2023) and analyses the "non-advanced world" through what seems to be an orientalist framework. There is an overwhelming focus on the US and EU (particularly in the session on trade blocs) but nothing on BRICS.

I liked the professer and it definely reframed some of my thinking. However, it is wildly outdated given the changes over the last 5-7 years.
