I am really honored to review this course. The course and the Professor was really having a high practical approach. 4th Module was little bit confusion although it was a great time doing the course.

Highly recommended course material. Really enjoyed solving the case studies. The learning from the course on different frameworks was immense. Also the feedback from the peers provided more insights.

The course I found so far the worst from the GIES. I found it to be very boring in design. Especially what the guests tell was more like a show for themselves than the transfer of knowledge.

I really like the course however it was too short and generic, and writing a memo as a repetation of the course was not that exhilarating...I haven´t used the discussion forums too much however I was expecting more on building business models...Probably it will be the subject of the next package but still 3 courses were too little as coverage....

I really liked the alagories and interviews from real life experiences and thank you for the effort...

Very theoretical. Assignments are useful but not enough time to complete them for busy professionals (instructions say 5 minutes, but it's more like 5 hours). Some level of filtering of peer assignments to review is necessary. Professor is not engaging. Notes are boring and not adjusted to online learning.
