Learner Reviews & Feedback for Essentials of Entrepreneurship: Thinking & Action by University of California, Irvine

It's such an amazing course, because the person who's talking has the appropriate knowledge to share and also has an excellent methodology in order to made clear what He knows.

This course very briefly presents large picture concepts of Entrepreneurship without going into a enough detail to provide any major benefit. I would see this being most useful to a person who had only vague ideas of what entrepreneurship entailed overall. The quizzes seemed to focus more on what was said during the lectures rather than what large scale constructs actually define entrepreneurs or processes overall. i.e. questions focused on sentence construction and ordering in a lecture rather than the overall concepts the sentences themselves were expected to convey.

If you have absolutely no foundation of what the basics of business, then this is for you. It's very simple and direct, but make sure to follow this course up with lecture material that goes slightly more in-depth. I recommend U of Penn.

Additional content like Excel templates and real-world stories or case studies of successful entrepreneurship ventures might be quite valuable.

I have given it a 3 star because course content is good but the professor is not able to make us understand clearly, its a little bit hard.

Easy course with some good practical information. The quizzes were not clear at all, and did not test much of what was covered in the lectures.

Very basic, it's like reading the table of contents of a guidebook 'How to become an Entrepreneur'.

Very basic overview. No real meat on these bones.

Few useful information.

Extremely generic and a but to much of self-promotion.

David Standen has great instructor skills that keeps you engaged the whole time of the course, gave many examples and shared some great personal stories. Also, the quizzes proved to be brief and extremely to the point because you could remember easily the basics of the course.

The only thing for improvement; I would love to see some additional readings in case we needed more details about the subject.

The lecturer explains in a way that is easy to understand. It's also nice that he adds his own entrepreneurship experiences in his lectures. The contents of the modules are very informative as well. I took this course in the afternoon, and by the evening, a family member asked me to start a business together, so that would hopefully be my Family Venture!

I am planning to open my own small business and I needed some help. This course highlighted the important skills that every entrepreneur need to have before starting their business. I really loved how simple, yet very informative the course was..I will definitely take another course with this professor. Regards from Oman

It's such a wonderful course to give a quick macro overview towards entrepreneuship. I love listening to David's lectures in a concise, professional and lively manner. I learnt a lot and I wish I knew this course earlier! I can't recommend more for this course for people who would like to work on startups!

Really the basic things what require to become an Entrepreneur is very much clear.even for the professors how to teach apart from book it is very much clear.My Special Thank you to Mr.David Standen .your communications skills is very clear to us with your treasure of knowledge.thank you once again .

This course is exactly what I was looking for. The guidance on how to proceed if you want to initiate your own business.

The step by step process seems to be pretty straight foward and absolutely possible as how well it is explained by the professor.

Thank you UCI and thank you Coursera!

This is one of the best online courses so far, it is small, yet a total package very rich in content and presentation I call (A mini MBA) I enjoyed every bit of the module. Thank you for packaging this class for free. i appreciate you guys for the wonderful packed full lecture.

This course is very helpful for beginners who have a little idea about entrepreneurship and about running this course just about sums it all up, although very basic it would definitely add to your information you have. I recommend you take it because i enjoyed it.

This course is extremely worth it because the instructor teaches from his own entrepreneurial experience and his heart is totally into this course. Additionally, his examples are relevant and make the understanding easier. Excellent Job by the instructor.

This program is simply outstanding; all important information encapsulated so well and so meticulously by Mr. David Standen. I highly appreciate this program and recommend to one and all planning for any setting up any business venture.

This course allowed me to understand how works business in other countries and the teacher was very clear. Also, he encouraged me to starts my ideas about projects in my country. I recommended to each entrepreneur

In my opinion these course has helped me to understand the very minute details of entrepreneurship in a very lucid and short manner also the the instructor was very involved in teaching every details. Thank you

The speaker's command and the style he used was incredibly informative. I generally liked this course. I have received general information about entrepreneurship and their subtleties. Thank you.

What a good scenario for entrepreneurs! Interesting lectures. The lecturer knows what he talks about and gives a panoramic view of topics an entrepreneur needs to take care of. Thank you!

I have started a couple of business already and have struggled with the basics. This course although simple, is enough to take away an understanding of exactly where I need to improve.
