Ratings and Reviews
Excellent curriculum and staff. Assignments are productive and lectures are informative
Great one!!
It was very tough, but it worth it! Thank you so much! I would like to suggest you to change the final grading system. In some projects there were good merketing part, foe example, but operations and financial plans were abscent. But the question it the grading is about the whole course in general. Another common problem is that by the end of the reviewed project you still don't know what exactly is the product, so you can't actually answer on all these questions.
Thankful in advance! And many thanks for interesting specialization!
