There arediscussions regarding what I have learned from the course and how they are used. Through thearticle, one will also get an understanding of how I learn and the means adopted for improvingthe process of learning and assessing it as per my ability for critically self-reflecting andconsidering futuristic self-development. Discussion: Learning From the Public Management Course and Their UsagePublic management Course helps one in creating plans and solving problems for makinga difference in the public sphere.
