Great course overall. Week 3 is a bit harder than the other 2, and the contents are introduced without much detail, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this course.

Overall a good course, but the notes could use some serious editing- spelling errors galore, and incomplete sentences which made it hard to review before assessments.

Very nice course. Las part about financial services was a bit confusing , maybe some more detailed slides would help to understand how different ratio are calculated.

Good professors but you will not learn a lot, since it is more or less an introduction for the other courses of the specialization. Good if is not used as standalone.

Good overview into Business Metrics. Had some focus on stock/financial terms which weren't applicable to what I was interested in. Overall a valuable course however.

This is a great course to help student who is not in business field to have a general picture of the metrics that involved in business, revenue, profit, and risk.

Great and easy way to know about business metrics, but I feel like it is just a light taste about business metrics for data driven companies, no deep going-through.

Es un buen curso para recordar y seguir aprendiendo sobre el mundo de negocios. Algo básico si ya tienes un grado relacionado o estudio universitario, pero bueno.

It gives some good base to understand the topics of measurement. The given examples in the training are tough to digest when you have not some base in economy.

as a science student, I think the course is easy to learn. It provides a lot of concepts which I can only remember a little though I understand their meanings.

The professor is great and easy to follow but it would be great if there were more optional reading materials and if some of the information was more clear.

I learned a lot from this course. I am giving it 4 stars because sometimes the lessons were disjointed from one topic to another. Otherwise, good content.

It is quite great for beginners, though the final task being graded by as clueless newbies as me, may not be very good. The lectures are good Thank you.

It is quite good but I hope it could be better. Also, the knowledge in this course is quite basic, of course it is still interesting and important.

Great presentation, interesting material. Both fun and enlightening, but there were a few rough edges that could be polished up. Strongly recommend!

The teaching videos sometimes have a traditional style of presentation. However, they managed to capture the important aspects of business metrics.

Very inspiring content, though I found the financial analysis part is rather heavy and boring (Maybe because I am not so interested in finance).
