The overview were good and i learned quite well, mainly from the interviews, listen their points and experiences is a difference, but i feel a little frustrated when i see the professors reading the texts, it's kind robotic.

I sat through week 1, but the topics to me are feeling so theory oriented , they have tried to do a great job make it interesting. Then it gets to you, a bit too much for strategy, not sure I will continue.

The transcript is missing sometimes and also so infographics related to the course. The content is very good and even better when used to solve the given business case.

"overview" is an exact word cuz the brief instruction method is the main contents in this course, hope next session will be more case analysis to help us to use.

Great information, but videos can sometimes become very long and boring. Some teachers don't even try to make the content more pleasing.

Very redundant, boring at times. It has useful information though. It is just difficult to keep up with so much repetition and sales theory. I do not care much about the schools of thought in sales and the history of sales. I want to be a topnotch Sales Manager or Sales Director!

Good information. I felt that the final assignment was the first time to apply the skills learned int he course. It would have been nice to have small activities to apply the skills each week along side the quizzes.

not applicable to me

very basic corporate knowledge

rather not suitable for senior people who are supposed to really design the strategy

I was very difficult to follow the videos due to the quality of English language spoken. I had to follow the transcripts in order to fully understand what was being said.

I also found it very hard to stay motivated throughout the course and often was left without a clear understanding of what I'd learnt and how relevant it was. The result of this was that I chose not to do the final exam since I thought I'd committed enough time during the learning phases.

Some of the reading was not easily available online and required signing up to other websites. Not ideal.

This course is hard to understand due to the quality of the speech and even the subtitles show that. The reading material is ipsis verbis version of the videos and does not bring anything new. Furthermore, it sounds it is targeting a specific country and not a worldwide view. I have reported several broken links. Some of the quizzes are not in the right order. I suggest an overall review of the course and talking at a better pace on the videos to make them understandable. Make some beta trials for ensuring quality and add extra information on the reading materials.
