About the Course

Welcome to this course about privacy, We are thrilled to see that you are interested and will provide you with a comprehensive study of this intriguiging subject. We hope this course will enthuse you to look further into privacy and personal data regulation. Especially in the light of recent events it becomes more important to know about your (alleged!?) rights and freedoms. After showing you a number of interesting examples of privacy in recent events, this course continues to provide you with an historic introduction, and varying cases and court decisions. It will guide you through the cultural and legal changes in perception of privacy over time. Sometimes with a more technological perspective. Notably, in the Western world differences have accumulated over time and the differences between the USA and Europe will be explained extensively in the follow-up courses. Through video lectures and quizzes we endeavor to build a solid foundation for you to construct a well-founded opinion on privacy. Last but not least we sincerely hope you enjoy the course! Prof.mr.dr. Jan Smits...

Amazing course, and the instructor makes it very interesting through explaining the content in great detail. The information was also spread very well over the weeks, and flowed very well.

One of the best course which takes you to the world where the human civilisation started and combines the privacy from ancient empires and connects its roots to the present modern world.

After the 8-week course material, I believe that I can basically understand the concept of privacy in the Western World. However, some of the lessons may provide contents which I believe that it does not aim for the purpose of the course. For instance, I still cannot see the direct relevance between the information about the war, the international conventions about postal services, art and literature to the data privacy. I wish the course may be modified for making the learner comprehensively understand the privacy in a clearer method.

Some content has poor english translation, some quizzes don't make much sense. Some content is repeated or seems unnecessary.

Too basic, was not what I expected. It does not go deep into privacy and its importance nowadays, interesting if you are into history.

Very Poorly Taught, Information is just thrown randomly and is very out of context, In one module we discuss Modern Privacy and suddenly towards the end we're memorizing Old Treaties. Lack of Video Time and Poorly Structured Reading Material. Easy Quizzes and Very Few Evaluative Components.

I really didn't learn very much on this course. The lecture videos were no longer than 5 minutes (barring one or two) and there was no real substance to anything "taught" that I couldn't learn from a cursory glance on Wikipedia.
