I count myself priviledge to have taken the course and l enjoyed every bit of the lectures, executive opinions, and case studies. The course is very insightful, educative and practical.

Thank you.

I am really honored to review this course. The course and the Professor was really having a high practical approach. 4th Module was little bit confusion although it was a great time doing the course.

The course I found so far the worst from the GIES. I found it to be very boring in design. Especially what the guests tell was more like a show for themselves than the transfer of knowledge.

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.
