I think the course has provided an excellent end to end overview on what constitutes international crimes and the process through to court hearings. I particularly enjoyed the sections providing the history and evolution without holding back on grey zones in law. Or holding back on any violations that have occured, regardless of one's political leanings or national leanings on matters. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 star, is that some of the notes are occasionally a little legalese in text. It'd be helpful to use simpler language for easier comprehension. Those with a legal background or seeking to qualify in law may not find this a problem. However, much of the content of these conventions and practice are determined by officials and representatives who aren't legal people or if they are, may pursue other courses of life as unfortunately was the case with Milosevic. Many thanks to all who've put this together with you, Michael.

Interesting and captivating course with a lot of information to process, yet well explained and elaborated. I found some of the exercises / examples slightly confusing (perhaps under-explained?) and some of the statements made by the instructor unnecessarily judgmental. Especially when commenting on contexts he is not familiar with. Nothing major, but it did disrupt my perception of the course, as I have lived in quite a few of those contexts myself and certainly would not dare to be as bold in some of my statements as the instructor is. I also appreciate that the course has been running for a while and hence the feedback on the assignments is minimal, which would otherwise been quite useful. Overall though, I thought this was an extremely interesting course, genuinely recommended.

This course had been very very informative. Law is an inventive field. What interested me more was terrorism and piracy, pre-trial issues and maintaining control of the court room. I have gaining more skill on the art of advocacy and adjudication. Jurisprudence and case precedent analyses from different jurisdiction and international tribunals provided in the texts were enriching.

Thank you Professor Scharf . Your presentations are easily understood and elaborate.

I have no foundation in criminology of any kind and thus, this was heavy stuff for me. I like how the videos paused at certain intervals to check if I understood what was being mentioned. It's also good to have online simulation for me to get things going.

I appreciate the inclusion of real life examples where I have heard of some of them before via newspapers. This brings it easier to be able to understand a little more.

I was really interested to learn Law and I've got a chance from a platform like Coursera, which is one of the popular online courses. A new experience to learn a new course, International Criminal Law. A truly deserving platform for the ones who wished to learn Law. I thank Professor Michael Scharf sir for helping all the students for a better learning about International Criminal Law.

Interesting course. Very detailed look at some of the most common conventions and topics of international law (Geneva, Rome, crimes against humanity, genocide and torture). I was able to pass with a 90% grade but not being familiar with most of the content prior to this undertaking, I did have to devote more time to understand (at time memorize) some of the concepts demonstrated.

For the most part, I enjoyed the lectures, but with the level of interaction and tangible skills and 'take home' points the instructor felt were important, the level of feedback and discourse with the instructor was non existent. He clearly knows his stuff. But do I know what's most important in the lessons? I dont know.

This course was very challenging and informative. It raised additional questions and drew not only my attention to the current issues that are occurring on a global scale, but also encouraged me to think differently regarding the moves the different leaders have made up to this point in the global political arena.

I enjoyed it very much. The professor shared a lot of valuable information and talked a lot about his experiences, and it was very interesting. I have to admit, I didn't really like the simulations. The questions weren't very interesting, but I liked the idea itself of using it instead of weekly quizzes.

Amazing course, learnt a lot about the various International crimes, the criminals and the ways by which the criminals are brought to the courts for the action. Mr. Scharf had been extremely guiding and possessed great communication skills for this course. Brilliant again!

I really enjoyed thir course. It talks about very interesting international cases and how law was applied. If you don't have law knowledge I think it may be a little difficult to follow, if you have and like criminal law you're gonna enjoy it.

Great Course for the Introduction to the International Criminal Laws. The Online Simulations Helped a lot to understand the concept and how to apply them when we are in place of the actual judges, prosecutors or defense counsel to the case.

ESTE CURSO ME AYUDÓ A ENTENDER AL ÁMBITO PENAL INTERNACIONAL, Y TENER UNA MIRADA MÁS CRÍTICA , COMO FUNCIONARIO PÚBLICA, POLICÍA DE LA PROVINCIA DE MENDOZA ARGENTINA. ME AYUDO A ENTENDER MAS EL MARCO DE DERECHO INTERNCIONAL.

It was entertaining, but it'd be easier to follow if the videos weren't *that* long. 5 videos of 10 minutes per week would be better in my opinion, it wouldn't frustrate me as much as an hour long video.

the course overall was very interesting and I have learnt so many things. Such as how to think from a different perspectives, more about modern history and so many other things.

Thank you

I have found this course very useful to understand the basic issues of the International Criminal Law. Without doubts, it is a valuable first approximation to this matter.

it was really good, because its really clear and esay to understand by the videos, talks an maybe the readings are a little bit hard but its good

I loved this course. It was dragging at the start, but it eventually drew my attention with so many modern and recent examples used.

GOOD TO GO THROUGH THE LECTURES AND THE VIDEOS ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CRITERIA OF CRIMINAL LAWS AND PROVISIONS THROUGH THIS PORTAL.

Gives a very good introduction to International Criminal law, easy to understand and is a great source for research work. Thumps up.

This is a very helpful course and it will be a great course to start with if interested in learning about international laws .

I really enjoyed the contents of this class, it was interesting although i am not a law student. Thank you so much Professor!

A good course for beginners to understand the developments of international criminal law since World War II era until today.
