Overall I enjoyed this course and appreciated the combined use of videos (with a variety of speakers) and readings. I thought the assignments were helpful in providing practical experience with the approach and tools presented. My only critiques are that a)at times it felt more like a series of commercials to market futures thinking (and perhaps IFTF by extension) and b)there was an overemphasis on the technocratic side of futures thinking with barely any passing references to how social dynamics and politics should be considered alongside technological advances when thinking about how future signals may play out.

This was a really well-rounded and entertaining start into futures thinking which makes me want to dive deeper! Next to the easy digestible video clips there is also a good amount of reading material which I appreciated. The peer graded assessments are fun to learn from other student's work, the only weak point is the feedback for personal assignments, since (naturally) everyone invests different amount of time and thought into it. Can't wait to continue with the next modules of the specialization. Thank you, IFTF!

Good value for money (assuming it takes you no more than one week to complete the course), but too much reading versus video teaching. In addition most of the reading material looks more like IFTF marketing material. I would have hoped to learn more tools and read less case studies/examples. The quizzes and assignments are too trivial and do not really test if you have understood the covered material.

Great course, loved the material and examples and how it was structured. Needs updating especially post COVID!

I was disappointed by the quality of other participants who didn't even bother with the assignments, let alone starting any interesting discussions. But I guess that's usual with MOOCs!

Some students are not taking the writing assignments seriously and we get punished for flagging them as incomplete even though I have reviewed them. Suggest if we flag something it should count as a review and maybe don't allow both reviews to be flagged.

Que bien! por fin termine este curso y mi mente se siente mas ligera y me siento capaz de abrir mi mente e imaginar las posibilidades del futuro. Espero mejorar con el paso de los demás cursos. He tenido una experiencia increíble!

A great course overall. A couple of links need to be updated. Would have loved to get feedback from peers or moderators who would take the time to read my responses in the peer-reviewed assignments.
