The course is very good it provide insights regarding he borderlines. how these territories drawn and constantly the source of conflict in contemporary times

Really short and fast, provides a free certificate and all the information is concise. I would say it's even shorter than 3 hours as the modules are rather short, and it's not as "advanced" as its description says due to the fact that it's essentially just reading and a single open question you have to answer.
