I have been working in the hospitality industry for around 3 years. I found a lot of useful knowledge in the course. It is practical and informative. Highly recommend the course.

Lots of reading material is no longer available or relevant. This course especially needs an update given the large leaps in big data, ML, and AI improvements.

outdated, stays at concept level but not sufficient practical cases, the speaker's gesture is pretty annoying and not aligned with what he says

It would be helpful if the final exam had an answer guide with details to correct mistakes atleast after receiving the certificate.

This course sadly does not live up to the expectations I went in with based on the quality of the first course in the specialisation.
Presenters of course materials seem inexperienced in presenting, and while they are obviously knowledgeable in their fields, also seem unfamiliar with the scripted content - leading to unusual inflection in some parts of the video lectures. Additionally, one presenter's overuse of gesture is particularly distracting.
Links to a large portion of the supplementary materials provided are defunct. While some can still be found by searching online, others have been removed from public access by Duetto (i.e. from their website or their YouTube channel).
Additionally, given almost all of the supplementary materials are from a single source which has a business interest in promoting certain approaches to revenue management, they provide a very one-sided view of how it should be done.
The course assessment is not thorough - requiring just a single examination of only 15 questions, and which can be repeated multiple times. Signpost practice examinations at the end of each module contain typographical errors, unusual phrasing, and in one instance indicates which answer is correct before being submitted by the learner.

The MOOC overall is an exceptional crash-course into hotel distribution and revenue management but this particular course was, in comparison to the first course, way below par. Unlike the first course, this one is fully conducted by partner company Duetto. The lecture videos were hard to follow, as the information was overgeneralized and excruciatingly repetetive.
The practice quizzes consisted of basic multiple choice questions that, just like the videos, offered nearly zero practical application of the topics at hand. Additionally, the quizzes were riddled with typos--As were the video captions.
The course is concluded with a final exam, which at last challenges students to make strategic decisions based on numeric performance metrics in various hotel scenarios. Such questions and cases should have been presented throughout the course, so that the student could acquire a clearer understanding of hotel revenue management overall. Instead, you are bombarded with basic definitions and general key points.

I didn't think it was a good course. Almost everything in course 2 had already been dealt with in course 1. The presentations in course 2 lacked good examples/situations which course 1 did offer. Last, the links of course 2 were sponsored by Duetto so it's very subjective. I would have liked to see better teachers/professors in course 2. To me it just wasn't worth paying for.

Overall I´d say this course is not updated at all to be honest. Articles you find around the course are from 2014/2015 and part of them as some videos are not accessible anymore. But I like the way it´s structured you will also find quite interesting staff as a couple of books (from 2015) but you´ll learn the basis

this course is extremely monotonous and does not provide significant material. it keeps reiterating that certain things are extremely important but fails to adequately and interestingly discuss these in detail or provide any real insight.
