Thank you to all the professors that took their time to provide such clear and understanding lectures that a full of knowledge and interesting Topics and discussions about modern society and so on...I would highly recommend this course for anyone that is interested in learning about modern society risks in a broader context rounding from risk management, Security science, and the rest which you'll enjoy as you go through this course.

This course is an excellent introduction to risk and how society organizes itself around the management of risk. It was a topic that I was interested in, and now that interest has been magnified greatly. They provided very practical explanations within an overarching framework that can be applied in many ways. The quality of the instructors was absolutely top-notch.

ks to the instructors and the university and Coursera for putting this course. I am sure this course will be updated every time the new risks show on horizon.

The course was smooth and excellent to learn what I expected. The discussion options really interacted with peer learner and boosted up the confidence.

Interesting content, great videos/lectures. More opportunity to debate/discuss with others would be great. Really enjoyed learning this topic.

This was truly a great, mind-opening online-course. Very academic, the readings were well chosen and the videos summarized the main points efficiently. I enjoyed how the teaching/learning happened via several different methods, which is great considering how different kinds of learners we all are. One negative things was that - due to weblinks changing over the time - approximately half of the reading links did not work. Either there were no such website anymore, or the reading was unreachable (needed to have access via university or needed to buy the access). Most of these I managed to solve by googleing the title of the reading, but some I unfortunately just had to leave un-read. This caused some challenge in the quizzes, if there were questions about those readings I had no chance of reading. Then I needed to do other research in order to find the right answer - or just guess. This didn't cause me to fail the course (I got grade 97%) but caused a bit of extra hassle. But fully recommending this course for anyone interested in risk management! I can think of how this course would be beneficial to pretty much anyone, despite their background or field of interest.

I really appreciated the classes on risk perception and how it can really influence us to the point of actual risk. I can see even how my wife and I perceive risk differently and how it affects our relationship. I found that a good read to accompany this portion of the class is "Buddha's Brain" by Rick Hansen. He talks about keep the potential trouble in the right perspective. Don't make a missile out of an arrow.

Excellent course. Covered an impressive breadth of material in a short (5 week) course. A good choice for those seeking an introduction to Risk but also achievable in a short time and balanced with full-time employment. My only real criticism is the estimated time for readings (all say 10 minutes but realistically take MUCH longer to read properly).

Through a to-the-point selection of scientific articles and online video's the course introduces you with the key concepts of risk in both safety and security. the information is relevant, interesting and made to stick. I really enjoyed the course and I am sure I will further deepen my knowledge on the subject in the near future.

Course is very important. We cannot eliminate risk totally but we should keep learning how to identify it, find ways to prevent and protect human being as we are living in a risky world. As such, the risk management steps and tools should be reinforced, practiced and adapted to specific risk situation.

Fantastic course. I didn't expect it to be as in depth and interesting as it was. I really enjoyed the methods of learning and video presentations did a really good job on re-capping each weeks work. I will certainly be interested in learning more via the University of Leiden.

I really like the way this program is structured with short but rich information and knowledge to be shared from lecturers. I was attracted by the narrative way on each video of the course. Also, thank you for the very useful links and reading for the learners in the course.

Curso incrível que além de contextualizar todos os conteúdos com dados históricos, dados de pesquisas e com a realidade, conta com um corpo docente altamente qualificado e os materiais indicados para aprofundamento do aprendizado são extremamente relevantes e precisos.

Great introductory course on the concept of risk and the different approaches to it from both security studies and safety sciences. Great selection of articles and top-notch lecturers. Highly recommended!

Lost of very good information on each category. The examples were very good to explain concepts and the instructors were each to understand. Overall, good summary/ brief course to risk

An extraordinary course made by talented people and great knowledge. Thanks to : Instructors, Experts, Universiteit Leiden (CFI), Staff, and Coursera for this great opportunity.

This course was very informative. It went in a direction I totally did not expect. Really gave me a lot to envision and think about, and have some kind of insight into.

Excellent course which gives a brilliant overview over a relevant topic. Short and concise video lectures, very inspiring and stimulating. Highly recommended!

A rewarding introductory level course which I would highly recommend to those interested in the topic. Don't miss any of the readings, it's worth the time!

very educative on risk safety and security.

i am more equipped to handle risks in their right perspectives rather over amplifying them .

I really enjoyed this course. Very informative. I also like the fact that you actually have to put work into it in order to pass.

This is a high-quality course with top-notch professors/instructors. Great content and materials. I learned a LOT.

The course is highly recommended. The topics discussed are well presented and clear. Kudos to all the professors!

Excellent presentations by all instructors. Very well laid with enough depth to not overwhelm. Simply superior!

This was a great learning experience. Looking forward to applying this knowledge. Thank you.
