Outdated and RIDICULOUSLY boring. Unenrolling after week two. I expected more from Stanford smh

Too bloody expensive, fix ur flawed pricing coursea$$ra

This course expanded my thought process beyond organizational change. Organizational creation and stability are now included in my engagement model. Thank you Professor McFarland, team and partners.

I am impressed and exceptionally satisfied passing the course. Very useful, presents range of theories and points of view, combined with real life cases and in-depth explanations. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful course. With an amazing professor. Really impressed with the quality of the content, discussion forums, and presentations. Congratulations and thank you

Insightful overview of diverse theories analyzing organizations, their behaviours and various dynamics related to ever-green topics of interest: learning, change, legitimacy and practical management. The original course was presented in 2012, reflected in some of the examples but the application of cases remain relevant still. Taking the course this year in 2020, I found there was a lot less interaction and exchange on the discussion forum than what could be noted from earlier periods. Overall, however, the presentation and readings held my interest and regularly provoked further thought and analysis that can be applied and used as a valuable background to real-world situations.

Content was interesting but lectures were often longer than necessary. Lecturer used good and applicable examples to bring theory to life

Excellent course but with some room for improvement in terms of explaining the theories in a more structured manner

While interesting it could be better, much better. Prof essentially reads his lecture notes for in-class lectures into a recording, referencing items unknown or not introduced to those on Coursera. Examples are out of date by 12 yrs ( ie they are from 2012). Flow of some lectures is disjointed and left to you to put together into a coherent whole.

Should be noted that this is a very difficult course. Fully lecture-based so it can drag a little bit. I'm sure I could've understood it better if I was further in my career, but it was far too advanced for me.

It was extremely boring, took me half a year to complete! The topics were chosen well but i don't remember much because the delivery was inbalanced when it comes to rationality and enthusiasm or creativity.

First of all I want to thank Prof. McFarland for the very interesting course. It was a very good experience!

My main negative point is that I would have loved to obtain more current theories and studies. Additionally, there appears sometimes a little flickering on the screen and in one video at some occasions a slight interference noise can be heared (probably of a mobile phone). Lastly, some typos in the slides and questions may appear.

Still, there the wealth of case studies, examples and additional material that renders the course additionally enlightening. Even the other participants create value through discussion in the forum (thanks at this point to the voluntaries that moderate it and answer questions!). Not to forget the exstensive screenside chats in which Prof. McFarland answers questions and elaborates on the course material even more!

Further, the quality of the audio/video is good and Prof. McFarland as the presenter comes across as very motivated, engaged and likable, so watching sequences of the course over and over again is not uncomfortable. Put together and considering the affordable price, the pros fully outweigh the cons and 5 stars are fully earned.

This course provided a fundamental and background theory of organization as well as the analysis of each theory and real life practice by case based analysis. Strongly recommended for learner who're looking to focus on organization learning and how it forms, change for both pro active and reactive approach.

This is one of the best courses I took on Coursera! I learnt concepts and understood them in a way I haven't before. The instructor is excellent. I hope they continue to keep teaching.

Plataforma incrível, videos aulas com o melhor professor possível, calmo e paciente para explicar de forma que todos entendam o que ele está tentando repassar!!!

Detailed review of the respective theories, would be good to update based on new ways of working within organizations

Very abstract at times, but overall a great course. Thank you.

Good content but the case studies need to be updated.

It's heavy on theory -- which is fine, given this seems like a grad-level course -- but examples are dated and it's A LOT of lecture and slides.

Really dense material presented in a dry academic manner. Unless you are REALLY into the topic - not a strong match. I stopped after week 2.

Fascinating information, but not my optimal learning style (hour after hour after hour of straight lecture.)

Very boring

Pathetic course, final exam has 111 questions to attempt in just 20 mintues! I had answered these questions in each module. Then why you need to conduct final exam. And even if you want to conduct final exam why 111 questions?

hard to follow the speech with one slide that doesnt move or change in more tha 10 minutes,

monotone speech,

coundnt stay focused,

i don't recommend

Details are confusing not to the point. Even in this era of simplicity the terms are too vague and their quizzes are way more confusing
