$450 for this course and they can't even bother to make sure that the quizzes are scored correctly? Two weeks back to back and one question each week has been counted wrong when answered correctly. That, paired with the fact that your only method to have an assignment graded is via peer review means that I'll be suggesting peers save their money on this course. It's entirely possible that you could be stranded with no one to grade your work - Coursera's suggestion if this should occur is that you should beg on the forums - or transfer your work to a later session of the same course. Good content, awful policies intended to allow the platform to be hands-off for Coursera - that's unacceptable at this price.
This is a big help to everyone especially this time of pandemic. This also allows us to refresh ourselves on how to be an effective leader. This is a self- discovery.
Excellent course to get your brain thinking. Opens your eyes into a leadership sight. Help yourself
The course content shows the meticulous efforts by the creators. It perfectly fits into the stipulated time of course completion, thus providing the participant with enough time to skim and scan (if not read through) through the materials and helps them take along the essence of it. The quizzes can be enhanced into more conceptual ones, rather than being theoretical based on the videos and summaries. The peer graded assignment is helpful in the way that it tests your actual understanding of the learning materials. In sum, it is a course worth the time and effort.
excellent contents and course...i encourage all who read this to complete this course....and do repeat it .after successive interval if time in your life...
I am proud to be a member with those who take this Excellence online training
Good course; very interesting. I would like to see the professor grade the course papers or at least review them instead of stric
It is an excellent course. Engineers need to deliver the collaterals on schedule. Sometimes they have to be very creative. This course teaches people, no matter whether they are junior or senior, how to manage stress, negotiate, and find what they are good or bad at. I really enjoy the video from those two senior leaders. They have shown many practical ideas to manage teams and projects.
This course has helped me to become more aware of myself,. While I have taken numerous personality assessments throughout my career , Some of the dimensions exposed by this course were really revealing. Had I known them earlier , I would have benefited by improving those aspects. This could have helped me , become a more effective leader
Enjoying the voyage of self-discovery. I think this is a must-do course for engineers, looking to transition into leadership/management roles. I like the introspective aspect of the course, as one can improve through introspection.
It's really an amazing platform for students to gain knowledge and the teaching part is really good.
I want to continue to the next course of this specialisation courses can you assist me through
Self-awareness is a crucial trait for effective leadership, enabling leaders to understand their strengths, weaknesses, emotions, and motivations.
Self-Reflection: Effective leaders engage in regular self-reflection to gain insights into their behaviors, reactions, and thought patterns, fostering personal and professional growth.
Emotional Intelligence: High emotional intelligence allows leaders to manage their emotions and understand others', enhancing relationship-building, conflict resolution, and motivation.
Communication Skills: Self-aware leaders adjust their communication style to different situations, leading to clearer and more impactful interactions.
Decision-Making: Self-awareness contributes to better decision-making by aligning choices with personal and organizational values.
Adaptability and Flexibility: Self-aware leaders adjust their leadership style as needed, which is essential for leading in dynamic environments.
Trust and Credibility: Authentic self-awareness helps build trust and credibility among team members and stakeholders.
Conflict Resolution: Self-aware leaders approach conflicts with empathy and an open mind, facilitating effective resolution.
You can get practically everything this course tries to teach you by just reading the first 3 chapters of the book used in the course.
The peer review grading for the SA assignment should be removed. Students uploaded the instructor's original instructions as their document to be reviewed, they uploaded no documents and asked to be graded in discussions group and telling others they would give them full mark and, some plagiarized each others documents! Not to mention that you need 3 peers to grade you for a total of 16/20 to pass so you are at their mercy for a course that you paid for and put effort in. Ridiculous!
It was like swimming lesson.

This course was exactly what I was looking for. I was frustrated by courses which present "very deep" "strategies" and abstract concepts for how to lead. That did not resonate with me. This one focuses on me first. so I can figure out who I am, how I currently lead and how I can improve.
A very interesting course. One of the best I have taken. I have discovered and measured aspects of myself, others have been confirmed. I know my strengths, and the weakest points to work on, to improve myself as a leader and as a person.
Not only for leaders do I think that this course is suitable for. The many things you can learn and exploit of your personality, even though you are not meant to be a leader, make of this course to be really worth it.
