This Influence course takes a different approach, and while it takes awhile to appreciate, I ended up really liking it! I won't spoil the surprises, but nevertheless, this is a course not to miss!

I worked with my corporate leaders. This course helped me understand why they act the way they act, as well as helping to improve my people skill and understanding my bottomline as a professional.

I had a wonderful experience doing this course. Although some of the course contents were geared more towards MBA students, I learnt some of the influence tactics that would help me reach my goals in a more realistic way. I thank Coursera and the University of Pennsylvania for devising this useful course online, giving the opportunity to a number of students to access quality information from the comfort of their homes.

This course is a lot about power, less about influence. Notably, we missed a critical and topical issue: how scientific advisors can, or cannot, get their messages through politicians, through their influence. However, there are a lot of interesting things in this course about corporate power.

Good, engaging course using great examples. Not as compelling as Success, but then again, I've yet to take a course on Coursera that is!

Very useful, mostly theoretical but very useful. Not much about influence in terms of negotiation skills...

The teacher watched too much the teleprompter, I get distracted by that action.

I found learning about Sergio DeMello and Robert Moses to be very interesting. I enjoyed learning more about the Cuban Missile Crisis. I grew up in the 50's and 60's but did not know much about that. However, the course was way too difficult for me. I was taking the course specialization because the other three courses were relevant to my life right now. I am 71 years-old. I am going to work 1 and 1/2 more year and then retire. I was trying to figure out the course of the rest of my life. The Power and Influence part of it was a bit too much for a teacher. I really am not looking to lead anyone except students. Influence them yes, maybe have a little power over them but I feel that this class was overkill for all but business majors. There was never anyone on when I was and nobody to discuss things with. It was like pulling teeth to get my peer review assignments graded. Anyway, this is my feeling. I loved the previous three classes in this sequence.

a good course overall, yet sometimes was too detailed especially in analyzing assessment results as probably would've been more interesting to talk about influence.

Coursera is SCAM and the WORSE online learning platform. i unsubscrip long time ago. but i just found out they are still charging me for 18 months. i checked my purchase page, every course shows in inactive states. but Coursera still keep charging me, just becasue i didnt delete my credit card. at first, i thought i forgot to unsubscrip, so i follow their SELF SERVICE CENTER "how to cancel a subscription", there is no cancel subsription option there!
futhermore, i want to reach out to thier people. there is no any contact info or email you can reach out if you have any issue. so i end up paying USD79 * 18 months = USD 1422. i really hope that someone that could hlep me solve this situation. as that is a lot of money for me. i lost my job last year, that's why i signed up for this course. then i stoped after few months, then i unbscriped, but NOW at my home page and my purchase also didnt show when the user cancel the course. i just delate my credit card, but i am not sure if they will still ask me to pay, this has drive me carzy, i really hope i can reach out to them and solive this issue. thank you for whom is reading this.

This course just wastes u time. Meaningless and unuseful. They just tell you some common phrase that u can take from Wikipedia.
Course is worthless.

This class is so hard to follow, the instructor talks way to fast and doesn't really explain in details.
