I really enjoyed this class. It has given me serious motivation to start my own company. I liked being able to see an overview of the steps I need to take to start my business off on the right foot.

Course is a great introduction to knowing the mechanics of Entrepreneurship. This course would only be a foundation and first step. Take this course to remember the essentials and build over it.

Good introduction, but just that an introduction. As they say a Macro-overview.

Me parece que es un curso bastante corto y le falta contenido demasiado suave.

Nothing is really covered aside from a simple overview. No useful tools to take away really. I prefer courses which give more than just reading a book or some online articles. Also the manner of speach and teaching used doesn't feel like university level to me. Though perhaps this course is more suited to people brand new to business, which I am not.

VERY basic. You can't do the quizzes without upgrading, so the course is always "incomplete". An ok intro to SOME things bout entrepreneurship but not comprehensive at all.

Nothing really new. Very good for newbies in the field. Short and easy to handle presentations and topics.

I've completed around 30 courses on Coursera since 2019, and honestly this is the first time I'm dissatisfied with a course to this extent!!! (I took this single course not the full specialization) The quizzes were not clear, I struggled for around 2 or 3 days to solve the quiz of module 3 mainly the question on break-even point, even though I searched online but I couldn't find the correct answer among the options, I ended up just trying each time with a different answer, also the question about financial projections. but this is not the main issue why I'm not satisfied, the course really didn't teach a lot(compared to what any "COURSE" would do, the videos and reading material are just tooooo little, the concepts are touch too much on the surface that you'll end up in the course just knowing some terms like feasibility study, cash flow statement and maybe "maybe" some definitions, but nothing practically useful. To be honest I don't know what their objective is from this course! Yesterday I watched a video on youtube that is one hour long and it was way more useful than this. I don't really want to disappoint or disregard the efforts of whoever contributed to this course but this is my honest opinion, and I'll never recommend anyone thinking of starting a startup taking this course! For me a good course is one that makes me use my mind and hopefully challenges it, through exercises that - ideally - reflects why I'm taking the course, or the least connect me with fellows where I can engage with discussions and build my network!

Trying to complete the 1st week and can’t pass the quizz because every answer that I put for the 1st 2 questions are always wrong no matter the combination used of right answers

I did not conclude the course because of the fundamentally wrong guidance that this lecturer promotes. Today we know more advanced and useful methodologies for entrepreneurship.
