Even as I had started with a fragmented idea about entrepreneurship, this course kind of helped to articulate and build a structure of thought process around it. Looking forward for the courses ahead.

Embedded one page case study in the middle of the lecture videos with a followup debrief or the same during the assignments would be extremely useful.

Ulrich's lessons are the best while I struggled to connect with other instructors. Ulrich had the best examples and his way of delivery is awesome.

Pleased to learn from the Best Acadameias, some of the materials are outdated, and long videos make me lose focus on studies.

Sound quality was sometimes a bit bad. Sound was only left side of my speakers.

Content could be more up to date.
