Reviews summary

Inaccurate course about refugee crisis

This course focuses on a couple of high-profile refugee crises and how the EU and Australia deal with them. It fails to cover the 'Why' in the course title, and provides very little information on voluntary migration, legal migration, or the demographics, expectations, and social and economic impacts of migration.

Course focuses primarily on the EU and Australia's handling of refugees.

""nothing at all about the economic or social impact in countries of emigration""

Course primarily focuses on refugee crises.

""says very little about why people migrate when they are not in immediate danger""

Course title doesn't match what is taught.

""I would probably give this course a higher rating if the title actually matched the content.""
