Good information. I felt that the final assignment was the first time to apply the skills learned int he course. It would have been nice to have small activities to apply the skills each week along side the quizzes.

very basic corporate knowledge

rather not suitable for senior people who are supposed to really design the strategy

I was very difficult to follow the videos due to the quality of English language spoken. I had to follow the transcripts in order to fully understand what was being said.

I also found it very hard to stay motivated throughout the course and often was left without a clear understanding of what I'd learnt and how relevant it was. The result of this was that I chose not to do the final exam since I thought I'd committed enough time during the learning phases.

Some of the reading was not easily available online and required signing up to other websites. Not ideal.

This course is hard to understand due to the quality of the speech and even the subtitles show that. The reading material is ipsis verbis version of the videos and does not bring anything new. Furthermore, it sounds it is targeting a specific country and not a worldwide view. I have reported several broken links. Some of the quizzes are not in the right order. I suggest an overall review of the course and talking at a better pace on the videos to make them understandable. Make some beta trials for ensuring quality and add extra information on the reading materials.
