This course helped me to act more like a leader and I immediately saw results, as my manager entrusted me with more responsibility.

Wonderful course. Received access to it through financial aid and spent many hours really learning the content and found every minute worthwhile.

Thank you for the course! A lot of examples seem to be normal in our lives, but we often forget them or do not consider them! Very clear explanation and good interviewees! Lots of appreciation!

It was eye opening and presented very well. I think the best part of the course is that Mr James is interviewing other people that have experience in the field.

the only drawback is that the grades of peer group assignment are not available immediately.they take too long to give grades.

Too much unimportant information and interviews
The course presentation was very easy to follow and relate with the presenters. I have also learnt a lot that I have immediately started applying to my work environment
This course is a very helpful course in increasing your skillset
It teaches the professional skills in an easy manner and builds your knowledge in the line of business.
This course has given me the basic tools needed for my management role.
Doesn't feel well put together. Some of the video interviews don't contribute much.
Not worth the specialization add on cost
I would've rated this class higher it was a communication class. This entire specialization covered very little business. The focus is towards communications and quantitative stats. I hope this curriculum gets revised to include actual business instruction and not communication theories. Throughout this specialization it seems the instructors are reading from a teleprompter while offering no practical examples.It seems this specialization was created from blooper outtakes. Uninverty of London has other useful business class: "Manageing the Company of the Future", "Branding " " Manger's Toolkit" and ,"Corporate Strategy ". I encourage you to avoid my foolish mistake by droping this time consuming and whorthless pursuit.
I think this course could be improved by a proper distribution of the material over the four weeks instead of making week one heavy with too much material compared with the other three weeks.
Another point that could make this course a more beneficial experience in my opinion is to make sure that the assignment of the week is designed as a tool to assess how much the learner has absorbed from THAT WEEK's material, not from week one. Three out of four assignments are based on week one material and I think this is not a good use of the concept of assignment as a tool to help the learner assess their progress.
You should consider reviewing material as the videos can be summarized in less duration without affecting the content.
Difficult to understand how unit 4 course material related to the questions on delegation.
I liked section on first impressions. The rest of it seemed like applying common sense.
The interview was too lengthy and some of the interviews were not really helpful
Each lesson coming in a very free flow manner where the mentor keep saying and saying things without enough stress on key point, the over view or Summary important ideal making those lesson worthy
Thank you for the course! A lot of examples seem to be normal in our lives, but we often forget them or do not consider them! Very clear explanation and good interviewees! Lots of appreciation!
Excellent professors and well paced!
Great course - I appreciated the content and accessibility. The requirement for peer reviewing assignments was hit or miss, as I found a large number of students' assignments were cut and paste from various online articles. That said, if you're taking this course to ACTUALLY learn the content, it's excellent.
Good course about professional skills. A lot of great interviews and an excellent written content. Sadly, theories are not really explained and sometimes it's hard to identify the meaning and goals of the interviews.
Informative, But very lengthy. It could be more interesting by shortening the videos.
Great course, just a lot of interview videos.
GOOD
