The International Political Economy of Trade course was a great introduction to the subject matter. I liked how the course covered a range of topics, from the basics of international trade to more advanced concepts like trade diplomacy and economic sanctions. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, with plenty of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. One of the most useful skills I gained from the course was being able to analyze the impact of trade policies on different industries and countries. My only suggestion would be to include more interactive elements, such as group projects or simulations, to make the learning experience more engaging.
