Here's what others who've taken the course are saying:

"I found I was gaining new understandings of CSR subjects and new perspectives every week. It was great to learn from the different insights shared in class (by my colleagues and the instructor). I value all the lessons learned and I constantly refer back to these new insights and ideas when discussing topics related to CSR/Sustainability at work." -- overseas participant

"Professor Webb's online modules are incredibly well-organized & use every tool available - videos, links, interactive exercises, live discussions, & more - to get the message across. It made online learning engaging!" -- NGO participant

"The CZMN course covers Corporate Social Responsibility from every angle. From foundational ideas through case studies on a variety of fields, this course provides not only a theoretical understanding of responsible business, but a practical one." -- overseas participant

"Professor Webb really goes out of his way to help his students succeed! He breaks down complex ideas into accessible pieces & treats every question as a smart one." -- NGO participant

"The CZMN course is a great overview of past and current trends in the realm of CSR, relevant for both newcomers to the field as well as for seasoned practitioners. The content of each module is well structured and paced. Case studies and fictional case scenarios help deepen and reflect on multiple CSR issues and evolving concepts." -- government participant

The CSR course was thoroughly organized and structured, which enabled me to successfully complete it despite having a full time and intense job. Its contents apply to very different types of context: they ended up being particularly useful in the humanitarian/development sector, where I work. Highly recommended!" -- overseas NGO participant

"Prof. Webb’s pedagogical approach is engaging and convivial for each participant, with weekly on-line live chat along with the virtual board for students that fosters exchange and debates." -- government participant

"As someone patching in from Peru, and having some background in related topics (community relations and occupational health), I found the format very straightforward and easy to use. I liked all the educational components and the way we built on what we'd learned in each module into the next one. I really enjoyed the interactive videos made by the professor summarizing the key relevant topics covered in each module." -- overseas participant

"Professor Webb really knows the CSR subject inside out, he is very passionate about it and has a lot of practical experience in the area to go along with top-notch theoretical insights - he is an excellent communicator. He's one of those profs where you end up really wanting to take another course from him. I highly recommend that you participate in all the weekly open-conversation sessions with him within the course!" -- graduate student participant

"What makes the CZMN 200 course so engaging is Professor Webb's passion. As well as sharing his in depth knowledge, it's evident that every aspect of course materials is thoughtfully chosen which becomes greatly enhanced with every in-class discussion. You rarely see courses provide such a balanced perspective, giving students a solid academic foundation while providing 'real world' examples to deepen their understanding of the subject matter." -- overseas government participant
