  • A super interesting course. I highly recommend it. The textbook is also quite useful and it is easy to read. I like how it goes into real life case studies.

  • The course was interesting. There was one midterm, a few written assignments, and a group report/presentation. We learned about communication strategies by organizations in times of crisis.
