Although this is not a bad cpourse, I think there are others out there that are better, and more worthy of your spare time. I have given a more detailed review of this course plus a few others offered by coursera on by blog, as linked below:

The course is OK but it is very theoretical at times and when you work as a manager within an organization already, there is little new enlightening things to be learned here. I am really missing the practical application of most of the topics discussed in the course. Maybe those are part of the more in-depth follow on courses …

The course has given me a brief understanding of how to manage people at workplace and made me realise the various issues pertaining to the workplace. It's good to know these facts beforehand itself as it will help us do better at our workplace.

Mostly interesting but some of the readings were very long, waffly and tedious. Week 4 was quite boring. It didn't really say anything useful. Just a framework and vocabulary for thinking about employee evaluation and development.

For a person approaching this from a political science perspective, this course did provides some interesting insights into how management theory works, though there were shortcoming in the vagueness of Managing Conflict at Work.

Fairly rudimentary management training, but not a very engaging or inspiring course. The content itself was fine, however the videos were not very well presented and the quizzes had numerous spelling mistakes throughout.

The concepts are good but the presentation is average. I personally enjoyed only the leadership, decision theory and performance management sections. The questionnaires for other sections are very poorly crafted.

I was hoping this would be something that I could apply immediately but for me it was a bit more theoretical and not practical. I found it interesting but not something I can apply immediately at work.

There were links that were recommended reading material, especially ones that pointed to a CIPD site. None of them opened. and despite raising it in forum, there was no response from instructors.

A number of grammatical errors and contradictions in source materials. Additionally a number of source materials are no longer available. Overall however, it is a good overview course.

Some assessment questions and answers (particularly in week 6 - conflict) were grammatically nonsensical which made understanding the options quite difficult.

It would have been helpful if all the lecturers had visual aids. I would prefer to see the visual aids rather than watch a lecturer deliver their lectures.

It would be good to consider few more topics related to Managing People, like

1) Collaboration

2) Team Building

3) Employee Encouragement or Ways to train

The Course was fine. I would have rated it better if there were more practical examples, advice and real-life situations rather than so much theory.

A lot of repetitive sections. Minus the fluff sections, this was an interesting course that dove into historical and psychological processes.

The Lesseons was great, but it wasn’t accurate and some very slow, non-aggregating cases and some week 5 links were out of date

Useful content but a very boring teaching style... Needs a better rhythm and more dynamic exercises to practice what you learn.

I was disappointed with the level of grammar and sentence construction in the quiz and assignment sections.

A handful of useful information, however all of them were lectured in superficial manner.

some charts on the presentation would be a good reinforcement to the course information.

Not a particular engaging course, and not helped by typos in notes.

Informative.

Did only the quizes and still passed the course - not a very high level

It is a great course, but I thought that I would get a certificate.

Not as good, engaging, or thorough as University of Michigan's.
