TOP REVIEWS FROM ENTREPRENEURSHIP II: PREPARING FOR LAUNCH
Amazing class with a great professor filled with nuggets of wisdom and practical experience especially if you are serious about starting your venture in the future.
If you have any aspirations to work as an entrepreneur and you have not done this course - you are wasting your own time!
This was interesting course. Helps out with understanding start-up businesses and the ways to go about it.
Good course, gives you things to think about as you build your own business. I just do not like peer reviews where I need to download random files from other students to my computer
