This was a great course and I enjoyed all aspects of it. I found it very worthwhile, I learned a lot from this course.
This is a vital course.And it's very necessary at the critical situation.So help people during emergency situations it's a noble work.
Good enough. But 3 weeks is too short for this amazing course. I didn't really like the assignments. But the overall course material and goal were really awesome.
Effective Communication is a very essential tool in our daily lives especially during emergencies where the right information at the right time is received by the right person.
