HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD의 최상위 리뷰
Great experience that has changed my perspective of the world and my role in it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank professor Roth for taking on this course and offering it to everyone.
Honestly, my knowledge has broadened quite a lot on social issues face by various individuals today. I loved doing this course because its a real eye-opener.
Sure, we need to change ourselves first before changing the world. However, do not desire perfection in either of them. They go with each other like a pair.
How to Change the World is one of the first online courses I joined and enjoyed. The information I got helped me to pass the first part of 2020. Thanks
