What people are saying
case studies
The topics covered in this course were well presented and the case studies and guest speakers demonstrated the concepts in action in the real world.
In addition, the course presented different case studies as well as various interviews with numerous resource persons that allowed me to have a grasp of the real world applications of the concepts involved.
Sometimes the practical applications were difficult to visualize in a real-world context although there were many case studies shown (maybe because being from the U.S. we have a less politically complex system).
I particularly enjoyed the fact that there were numerous case studies discussed such as the Nile basin or the Mekong basin.
The case studies served to understand better the concepts presented.
or applications of the course concepts to case studies would greatly enhance the quality of the course.
This course provided me a strong comprehensive understanding of the basics of water management and the issues associated with it, which was effectively demonstrated through case studies across the world.
Swiss and international case studies.
Hard to follow because it was not in english This is the course that started a new area of interest for me by providing guidance and very clear case studies that make one think and analyze important water management topics.
I specifically enjoyed the case studies as this made it more relate-able compared to if it was more theory based.
I also enjoyed the fact that both developing and developed countries examples were used for the case studies.
I also liked the well-structured approach of introducing concepts and frameworks then using real case studies to illustrate.
explained with interesting case studies.

water resources management
This course was great- I certainly enjoyed learning about water resources management and policy.
As I have a legal background, I particularly found Professors Sangbana and Mbengue's discourse on the legal aspect of water resources management (Module 5) engaging.
Look forward to Water Resources Management and Policy 2.0!!!
The class was very informative and structured in such a way that it built the understanding and knowledge of Water Resources Management in a local and global perspective in a smooth flow.
This course is absolutely designed for water resources management practitioners with practical examples of disputes and laws of water of trans boundaries conflicts.i appreciate the efforts that has been done for arranging and materializing this course so efficiently and thematically.
Superb I found this course very informative and helpful in water resources management.
Water Resources Management and Policy course is a valuable course to understand the water resources, its management and issues we faced.

makes it
The translations sometimes makes it difficult to understand the terminology the presenters are using but this course is very informative.
Good course, but the french language makes it more difficult to stay focussed great course It is a poor course because is not properly designed for internationals.
takes time to read captions and makes it less interesting I would have felt more comfortable if the lectures were delivered in English.

will help
I expect that this knowledge will help me put my work into a broader perspective and help me find innovative solutions to problems.
Maybe some compulsory readings would be nice and will help structure the content of the course.

ce cours
Merci pour ce cours très bien construit !
Et que dire des slides en majeur partie en anglais.Bref c'est malheureusement un sentiment mitigé que j'ai à l'égard de ce cours (le 4ème MOOC que je suis).
J'ai énormément apprécié ce cours, de part sa dimension internationale et axé sur de nombreux exemples.

english subtitles
The course is in French with English subtitles, but it was still easy to follow along and get a complete experience.
Also, the English subtitles do not always exactly match the oral French version.Finally, the marking only based on quizzes that can be retaken several times makes it very easy in my view.
I dont mind to be rude, but the course didnt have English subtitles.

rather than
As an English speaker I relied almost entirely on downloading and reading the transcripts, rather than watching the videos.
I also felt that the translator's objective was more to translate sometimes rather than give the intended meaning.

benefit from
3) The course would benefit from some additional reading materials.
I still believe though that the general message remains very generic and would benefit from further technical details to go more in depth.
