This course gives you a good overview of why six sigma and lean are necessary. It also gives you an understanding of how team dynamics play important roles and how brainstorming is an effective tool.

Course is very outdated, dry and really boring. Course material, slides etc. would benefit from an update/refresh to bring it up to today's look and feel and make it more dynamic. The course narrator is desperate for a glass of water. He's so parched, you could hear his tongue sticking to his lips and the roof of his mouth throughout the entire course. That was really off-putting and dare I say - gross! The whole course looks and sounds like a lost remnant from a 1990s corporate training video - right down to the brown and yellow color. Come on, it's 2021 - update with more timely examples and modern digital content.

Course is identified as a beginner level, but assumes a pre-existing working knowledge of the topic and concepts. Lectures do not explain concepts well, quiz questions are not aligned with online materials, not covered in the lecture materials. Perhaps better categorized as an intermediate level course, or review course for those who have already studied the subject needing a refresher prior to seeking certificaiton.

This course continually refers you to a text that costs $45 on Amazon, they state it is not required but some of the test items are not covered in the video lectures, so I assume they are only covered in the book. I believe they could provide all the information in lectures & provided readings like other courses, rather than basically saying "go spend ANOTHER $45 on a book"

The course relies too much on reading the book. Which is not why we took the course. If we wanted to read the book we could've.

The instructors' presentations are very vague and all they do is just read what's written there... There is no practical assignments or hands-on training.

Overall, the course and the specialization is very weak.

The course is designed around the need to buy a book for the course which is currently unavailable in my country. Like all other courses on coursera, the author should have made available the excerpts required to be read online without the requirement of buying a book for the same

I find some of the principles included in this course to be interesting, however, the fact that 75% of the examples relate to manufacturing make it difficult to picture how these principles can be applied to my current position and the duties I perform daily.

I think the course is ok but relies too heavily on the book which is not supplied and the quiz also relies heavily on the book and if you do not have it you cannot get answers for incorrect remarks

The slides and the trainer do not add a lot of value. Reading the recommended handbook provides the same benefit. Slides are difficult to follow. Presentations are not engaging.

The instructor for this course was very monotone and showed no excitement for this. Additionally, none of the items spoken about on the lectures were given on the quiz.

Course quizzes include content from the book that is marketed on every step, but the actual information that the quiz is asking you is not provided.

The lecture videos aren't good enough to pass the course. They said the course textbook isn't necessary to pass, but that's not true.

Didnt find it that helpful. A lot of theory and definitions/terminology. Very heavily based on the book. Can just buy it and read it

Basic concepts that are over-elaborated in a boring way. Lectures are basically reading slides; readings are not supplied.
