Inspiring introduction to the topic. Clearly communicated and resources to follow up.
A quick glance at the foundation of campaigning along with aspects that can influence it. Highly recommended!
its too theoretical
Mr. Ellis is an incredible instructor. Every new chunk of information he gives, he gives a real world example of it. He is very thorough in making sure every student understands what he's teaching. I've had this course sitting idle for a while, not really knowing it contains so much information regarding public policy; I've already been learning about that.I wish this course was way longer, but I look forward to the next course
Deeply interesting and well put together.

It is good so far, as I am enjoying listening to it , though finding it is more based on Advocaying and wasn't much of what i was looking for, thought this was a generic course in all aspects of campaigning.
Really clear and concise.
The Course was good, could be better. I think the thing that made the course average was the dull powerpoint presentation. Other than that, it was informative, and it was good.
