This course has been nothing short of exceptional. The content is well-structured and allowed me to achieve my learning goals of understanding the complexities of global political economy. Dr. Smith's lectures on the political economy of development in Africa provided me with practical knowledge that I have been able to apply in my current role at an NGO. I wholeheartedly recommend this course for anyone interested in the intersection of politics and economics.
