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

deal with people arriving
As it is, it focusses mainly on a couple of high-profile refugee crises (Syrian and Rohingya refugees) and on the ways the EU and Australia seek to deal with people arriving at their borders, but says very little about why people migrate when they are not in immediate danger, apart from some general references to poverty.
australia seek to deal
no serious examination
There is no serious examination of the countries people migrate from, demographics of migrants, what migrants expect and whether or not their expectations are met, almost nothing about legal migration and migration policy in either the countries of emigration or the receiving countries, nothing at all about the economic or social impact in countries of emigration... Modules on migration within Latin America, and Mexican migration to the US were interesting, but why was there nothing at all on migration in and from Africa, in and from Asia, or to the Gulf states?
