The Changing Global Order

This has the potential to be a really great course, but it left me disappointed and very, VERY frustrated. It's hard to give a simple star rating.

The content itself, and the format would deserve 4.5-5.
I think it's a great course in this aspect and I'm very thankful for the University of Leiden for making it freely available.

However, they've published this well-put-together course without ever checking it's written content, which is full of mistakes and inaccuracies. Because most of the professors speak with a very heavy accent, it's an absolute must to have subtitles displayed, even in English. Showing the transcript of the videos is also the default option on Coursera, so it's safe to assume that most English speakers watch these videos with English subtitles. Which in this case are horrendous. The transcript is automatically generated and every paragraph contains multiple mistakes. At best, it's just small details, but very often full words are changed which give a completely different meaning to the sentence. Let me give you an example: the transcript says "The Indian-American journalist and author Fareed Zakaria argued that due to the rise of the West, you are now seeing the emergence of a post-American world." It's exactly the opposite what Zakaria says!!! It's the "rise of the rest," meaning the economic emergence of China, India, Brazil, and other countries, in opposition to the West, which he describes in The Post-American World (2008).

So far I found no way to get in touch with the publisher to give them the list of amendments necessary. This really could be a very good course, but this way I'm struggling to understand most of the videos.
