The course has been truly exceptional in its content and delivery. Through this course, I have gained substantial insights into the realm of effective decision-making, equipping me with valuable tools to navigate complex situations. The comprehensive coverage of the subject matter has been a standout feature.
While the course content is undeniably enriching, I believe there is room for enhancement. Specifically, I recommend the integration of scenario-based quizzes to supplement the learning experience. These quizzes would provide learners with the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge to practical situations, fostering a deeper understanding of the material.
By incorporating scenario-based quizzes, the course can offer a more dynamic and immersive learning journey. This approach not only promotes active engagement but also aligns with the principles of real-world application, a critical aspect of decision-making. It would be an effective means of transitioning from the current cram-based quiz format to one that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
In conclusion, the course has been a commendable endeavor in imparting effective decision-making techniques. The proposed addition of scenario-based quizzes stands to elevate the learning experience, creating a more holistic and impactful educational offering.

The course is very interesting and challenging. Prof. Stone is detail-oriented and open-minded. The only thing that can be even better is the course content. For example: we learned about decision making styles. We mentioned majority, minority, expect, authority with input, etc. But prof. Stone didn't mention which of these is the most effective one. I think the course content can go into more details and more explanations. Overall, I really enjoyed studying with prof. Stone.

The course s outstanding; well designed and well presented but it should be with statement of accomplishments. Because in third world countries, the concept of online open courses will take time to gain acceptance. So in order to prove the "Worth" of these course, they demand documentary proof. 49$ is big amount ( 1$ =104 PKR) in 3rd world countries, so its not possible to pay for one course.

Generally, a good overview of problem-solving and decision-making concepts. A little bland on the visuals, and the information could be refined and polished more. The content is easy enough to see past those minor problems and get to practical information and readily apply the resulting knowledge.

This course is really nice. However, I was expecting more from the course. This is why I want to give it 4 out of 5 star. Adding some real-life assignments to this course will be great. Thanks Coursera for giving me the opportunity to complete this course, I am really greatful to you. Thanks again.

This is an excellent course. It covers how data helps in taking decisions. It also talks about group decision making and gives the pros and cons of each of the methods and finally it explains how to manage change in an organization. All in all a great course.

From the title It could look like it's something very basic and that's common knowledge, but it gives a good foundation to what we normally do in a regular basis and it also shows different ways of thinking and approaching problems and solutions.

Great course. The quizzes are hard because you can only miss one or two questions or you fail. I literally had to take the Week 4 quiz over 10 times because I missed more than one question. Week 4's powerpoints did not match the quiz at all.

Great course to introduce effective problem solving and decision making. It restructures the way you think about a problem and helps you determine the approach and the logic behind dealing with problem solving and decision making.

muy bueno, una clase clara y directa.
Sólo falta que algunos de las pocas explicaciones que fueron de manera general se hagan con ejemplos mas especificos.
la plataforma debe evaluar que los examenes tambien deben ser traducidos

The course gives an overall idea of how to look upon decision making and problem-solving, it gives a "brief" outline of tools that help to implement and make a better-informed decision in a systematic manner.

Mr. Stone explained charts in such a clear and relaxed way that my fear of statistics has disappeared! I was also able to apply the course information to manage my daily tasks more effectively. Thank you!

Over all Course is helpful in explaining the concepts. Instructor has deep knowledge about the relevant topics. Only need to add some examples or assignments in order to engage listeners more effectively.

Explores the basics concepts of problem-solving, and they can appear easy and logical; but when you try to apply them, you can notice that it's not so basic and you can really nurture with this course.

Thank you for this course. Definitely it is very basic and for beginners without any intermediate or deep explaining of "solving" and "making", but it was interesting to participate in this course.

It's a great course with important and nicely presented information. It could be even better if University Of California, Irvine would make it more informative and longer than it is right now.

Easy to go through course. Well build up with good example. Last part of the course was a bit confusing (situational variables / metrics KPI's) as it actually used same wording.

I recommend you, than give us answers about examen when finish the examen with 80% or more correctly and you explain why the other answers are incorrectly.
