Yes, it has been helpful. I am an economics professor and am creating a course that brings in macroeconomics, political regimes, and social capital. I have done some research in the area of culture, trust, respect for others, etc.

The Course is both educating and enlightening, at one hand and both revealing and stimulating, at another hand! With the knowledge gained in this Course, I will henceforward and henceforth be mindful of social capital in my personal interactions, at micro, meso and macro levels! Thank you IfSC

In my point of view, it is a very well designed short course and very effective for the beginners who want to explore the field of Social Capital. i really enjoyed the quiz part, although i took it light but i had to attempt it several times because it was a little tricky regarding the options provided. i liked the course and have learned the basics of SC.
