Enjoyed this course and the presentation of it. The writing assignments did get a bit cumbersome at times, but did fortify retention of the information presented for me.

I really like the course however it was too short and generic, and writing a memo as a repetation of the course was not that exhilarating...I haven´t used the discussion forums too much however I was expecting more on building business models...Probably it will be the subject of the next package but still 3 courses were too little as coverage....

I really liked the alagories and interviews from real life experiences and thank you for the effort...

Very theoretical. Assignments are useful but not enough time to complete them for busy professionals (instructions say 5 minutes, but it's more like 5 hours). Some level of filtering of peer assignments to review is necessary. Professor is not engaging. Notes are boring and not adjusted to online learning.
