Thanks Alice and Coursera for making this course available for learners, It was really educating and fruitful and i hope it's going to help me a lot in my current role. Not only has this course been designed very systematically but also covers the whole gamut of PS. Nowhere i felt during the course that it was dragging or getting boring. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Good luck!
