It is a business centred course that will help you understand the most important metrics. It includes comprehensive glossaries and lectures that will help you in the process and a lot of case studies.

The course is very short and has a small content. Final assignment doesn't have a straightforward grading.

SO "HARD" to learn! I honestly can not understand at least 20% even now when I completed.

Sometimes it seems very "mechanic". The instructor is clearly reading a script.
