About the Course

Wondering why economists have not predicted serious financial crises? Shocked by economic assumptions of human behavior as self-centered
and focusing only on what can be measured? Asking yourself if there are no sensible economic alternatives to free markets? Then you are at
the right place to learn economics! This is the first online course that teaches economics from a pluralist perspective. Economic pluralism
means that a plurality of theoretical and methodological viewpoints is regarded as valuable in itself and is simply the best way in which
economics can make progress in understanding the world. This MOOC will illustrate economic pluralism not only in substance...

The course overall is fine and achievable, but the peer-reviewed essays are biased and unfair. Having to rely on random students to verify my work meant I was getting docked points for things that I knew met rubric standards but other students would graze over to verify. It makes your grade skewed not having an actual academic professional look at it. This method is in poor taste.

Many errors - needs better editing. Also, too much political viewpoint.

Dropping this course because it feels monotonous and there's a lack of passion or practical examples from Irene and Maria. Was really expecting good things from this course because of the high rating. Very disappointed.

This is by far the worst course I have ever attended on Coursera. The quality of the content in the videos is very low; there are no slides available to download; the tutorials are very trivial.

The instructor was mostly using jargons. The way of presentation was quite boring and difficult to make sense of.
