This is a fantastic course to provide an introductory (but detailed) insight into complex humanitarian emergencies. Only complaint is that several of the resources in the readings section are now well and truly outdated.

Overall, a great review, and a great introduction to things I didn't previously know (specifically the info re: logistics management). There were some typos in the transcript, but otherwise well organized and delivered.

The context of the course is greatly interesting. Only needs a bit improvement by adding more videos rather or visual dynamics to make it more interactive.
