Excellent course. In my view, the academic rigor of the week exercises needs to be improved even for a beginner level.

Amazing! price has been most of the time an uncertainty . This course gives you the learning you need for allocating pricing strategies to the right business scenario

While the beginning of the course was really interesting, the overall quality dropped halfway through. The sessions didn't look very professional. It first touched base on some very basic topics and then randomly went onto very technical information. Very disappointed.

A good course but there were places where I felt things weren't clearly explained. Also, the quiz questions were sometimes somewhat ambiguous.

I liked the course, it was very useful though I believe some part should have been explained more. Overall, it was a very good one.

Very useful and clear but only good to obtain interesting learning material - NOT for certification

Peer reviews not working. If peers do not review your assignment , you cannot validate the course. I completed the assignment very early and I had no means to make peers review it.

ATTENTION: you can pay for the course and not be able to validate it only because peers do not review you assignment; and you have no control on that. Moreover, NO moderation on peer reviews resulting in low grading quality.

The case is interesting and beneficial in terms of helping to grasp the material, however, it would've been helpful to have something similar during the course with the answers and methodology in solving it.

I loved the course, but if you want an overview of Pricing Strategy at least I missed it in the course! This course focuses on how to do the maths of price elasticity which is good and interesting too!

Excellent content but no communication at all with the staff; all questions posted in the forums remained unanswered.

I really liked the way course has been designed. Though I had microeconomics during my MBA, I am able to learn lot of new concepts in course. Some of the market phenomenon which I would not have been able to connect with pricing principles, now I can connect them after completing this course. Thanks to all instructors, Thanks University of Virginia and BCG!!

Even if you are familiar with the basics of microeconomics, and cost structures, this course combines it all together to provide a new perspective of using these models and concepts in pricing.

Excellent introduction to the mathematics behind cost and pricing strategies. This course gave me a lot of good information that I've already started putting into practice at work.

Introductory level, but a fun course !! Not very hands-on but still will add to your knowledge.

Best Wishes.

Mixed reaction, Ron from Darden is very knowledgeable, but does not explain well enough and does not spend enough time to explain examples.

Great course in terms of context and delivery with very knowledgeable staff. Overall, the videos are short and to the point and the fact that you often work with or are exposed to real-world case-studies is very valuable. The only negative for me has been the final assessment. I would be more comfortable with a more in-depth case study with more data to work with though I recognise this would also not be very practical. In its entirety, the course goes into depth without exhausting students. Quizzes are also challenging enough but not time-consuming to complete once you have revised the material for each question. I would also prefer links to more in-depth material for those who want to work beyond the confines of the curriculum (i.e. more info on how we derive to a demand function despite the topic being quite advanced). Highly recommended course if you intent to take the Pricing Strategy specialisation.

Clear course and teachers, challenging quizzes. Some interesting and advanced concepts (for instance on retail, bids). You need some mathematical knowledge to pass (derivatives, algebra, statistics...)

If you already have a business / marketing education, half of the concepts and methods won't be new to you.

I would have like to have a bit more explanations for the final peer-graded exam. Also it can take some time (1-2 weeks) for 3 other students to grade your final assessment if not enough people follow the course at the moment.

I really loved the structure of this course. Lectures are very clear, additional questions help you memorize the material and focus on the most important things. This is the first course that provides lecture resources that are very useful to keep in mind the material you have learned. This course material is focused on the practical side, making it even better. Thanks for the knowledge, I will definitely use them in practice!

Excellent course that gives insights into pricing strategies. The course was a combined package of theory and application in the form of case studies. Taking this course had definitely added value to my knowledge base. I thank the University of Virginia and BCG group for their efforts in modeling this course. Thank you Coursera of this opportunity!

Great refresher course on pricing and economics. Focuses on different pricing strategies (elasticity, pricing function, auctions, cost plus pricing, peak load pricing, index based pricing, marginal cost pricing, target cost plus pricing). Ron Wilcox and the BCG team does a great job in delivering lecture and keeping you engaged in the course.

Really nice course with good mix of descriptive concepts, their calculation and execution in practice and case studies of companies. Control quizzes are really helpful to check own understanding. But please consider additional workload for final exam and assessment of 3 others. This is like an additional course week and should be mentioned.

I'm so happy to take this class. Even though I'm a product manager, I didn't have confidence in pricing. Because I did not major in business management. This is because I did not major in business administration, so I did not systematically know about pricing. This class gave me confidence in pricing. Thank you.

I highly recommend this course. Thank you to professors for sharing the course material in such a sincere way. Course is very well designed. I did not have background in pricing prior to this course. This course definitely made me interested in learning more on pricing strategy optimization.

Curso fantástico! Os professores têm pleno domínio e uma didática excelente, a organização do conteúdo é fluida, o conteúdo é bastante relevante e completo. Estou muito mais confiante no projeto que preciso realizar no trabalho aplicando os conceitos aprendidos aqui. Muito obrigada!

This is one of the best courses that i have done on Coursera. I hope my economics teacher was like Ron Wilcox. I definitely hope to complete the specialisation. BCG and Darden definitely stand up to their name and justify the place they hold in the student community.

It was a tough course, but it is totally worth it. The way everything has been explained makes it easy to follow new concepts. You can rewatch till you don't understand things, and the examples given to depict application of concepts really make things easier.
