Extremely relevant and important topic. It is foundational but the additional reading and resources are invaluable.

by THNov 14, 2022

Outstanding lecturers, and having map diagrams to elaborate certain topics made it so much easier to understand, and overall the information I learnt from this course was interesting and useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
