Here's what past participants have to say:
"I'll start with some things I was surprised about. I really was surprised to learn how much the field of community development is, well, developing. I had figured that there would be different approaches to helping impoverished areas but did not realize there were still some very different philosophies about what kind of aid is best for people."
"This is my first online course I have taken, and I have to admit was a little wary before I took it. I wanted to learn more about sustainable development, because I feel that I need ideas and some validation that what I am trying to do with my community in Ecuador is the right thing. Also, I did not want to ‘discover the wheel’ or make mistakes that can be easily avoided by having the knowledge necessary. I am extremely happy I took the course. It was short, concise, to the point, and the discussions were helpful and insightful. Thank you, everyone!"
