Very useful information, especially for those who work at international companies or collaborate with people from different countries.

This is a great course, communication should be understanding from the person, through their life and the concepts to get rapport from others are so real.

This was very educational for me. Many things I'd never considered when dealing with people from different countries. Great presentation.

Great information shared. I feel like I can take back a lot of what I learned in this course and apply it to my day to day.

I felt there were assumptions made about the audience. That we had traveled outside of our national country or that we were American. I also could not find the answers to the 10 questions on C/P. or the final Quiz. I could not figure out what I missed on the final quiz to understand what I missed so I went back and did the whole class again. The first time I took the course I broke it up and then took the test at the end. The second time I took the course I did it and the final quiz all in one sitting on the same day. This made a difference in retention and the quiz results. However, I would still like to know what I missed on the final Quiz.

It is a reasonable match. I do feel it is very US-oriented, so in the visual identity part of culture all examples were from the US. Funnily enough in the rest of the world this might be perceived as arrogant :-)
