Parts of this were really interesting. Ideas around high / low strategy and ensuring alignment between HR and organizational strategy and culture were important reminders. He jumped over a few important areas that may have added more value, such as employment law and managing to the law.

This course was a great opportunity for me, to have a good understanding about managing people. Teaching method is user friendly. I must thankful to the university of minnesota , for providing this kind of courses. Looking ahead to follow the othercourses in this specialization also.

Great course, with a lot of information packed into a short course. Well worth it and the time spent on the course kept me active and engaged. Professor Budd is great, with his humour, videos, illustrations and readings from his blog all adding to a great learning opportunity.

I found this to be a very helpful course. At times, it was a bit cut and dry, but that might be the nature of the material. Dr. Budd is hilarious and clearly passionate about HR! I appreciated how he brought in HR leaders from the private sector to speak to their experiences.

The course was informational overall but I feel like there should a full transcript of the course material posted with key terms highlighted so that you don't have to download from each video, that would be extremely helpful. Other than that I think this was a good course.

A great foundational course to set you up for more specific topics. A lot of interaction through discussion prompts and peer-review assignments. Videos have moments of disjointedness, but easily to look past (sorry Mr Budd!). Very excited for this specialization program!

This course is very beneficial in gaining knowledge on how to manage people and understand what motivates them. I have learned a lot of vital information that is useful in the workplace. I would recommend it to anyone wishing to move into human resources management.

The lecturer was very detailed and seemed to have a broad knowledge of the topic, he was able to merge the past and present to offer excellent and meaningful examples to the subject matter. I definitely recommend the course for managers or aspiring managers.

A well structured course which lays the foundation for further study. The insight provided and the presentation style were appropriate and well delivered.

However while understandable the excessive focus on the USA perspective this was not a helpful aspect.

It does what it says, it prepares you to be a good HR. I loved the course but it is based on US policies(last week) and that was the part i didnt like because policies here are very different in India. Otherwise, good course for understanding basics.

I liked it a lot but I was missing conclusion and summary slides. The slides were really hard to watch since they had bad design and for my reflection, I had to search in the videos for the information. Good slide decks would have helped much more.

The material was well presented and direct to the point from a learning prospective. I liked the fact that PPT interruptions were inserted to ensure the learner was tracking and following along to include understanding the material being taught.

Fue super claro, con mucho material y de fácil comprensión. A modo personal, a ratos como solo hablo español me perdía con tanto ingles. Así que demoraba mucho en ver los videos. Deberían tener doblaje en español para los que hablamos ese idioma

this course is very helpful.I learned about what drives the employees at work and how to motivate them as people managers.this caught how to be become good people managers.i am very thankful to faculty and others who made this course possible.

A great course that developed my understanding of HR .The role of Hr in any organization and their responsibilities. Loved the way taught with so much fun and humor. This course is very beneficial for people thinking to pursue a career in HR

I appreciate the course instructor for the mastery with which he delivered the content. It was so easy to relate to what was being present and above all understand. This is going to be very useful in my work as i manage human resources.

thanks to the great proffesor JOHN BUDD, he really gave me a good and advanced expert in human resource management.

i would give this 4.99 star because its clearly defining how you could benefit from human power in standardise way

I've learned so many fundamental HR-related things from this course. Its kinda recall type course for those who completed their graduation concentration in HRM. Thanks, Coursera and the University of Minnesota.

Everything was just excellent!! I would be looking forward to have more additional reading tasks that that help see plactical applications of theoretical material. Thank you very much for a great course!

Great course. I found it to have an excellent pedagogical structure with well researched material and relevant, detailed examples for each concept! The pace of the course could have been tightened a bit.

This a very enlightening course. Very insightful, educating and practical. I learnt a lot from this and I'm very grateful that I got to participate. This is all you need if you are new to HR Management.

Interesting but very academic and generalistic course. You should have it before the other courses of specialization but keep going becouse it's very hard to apply this course at work by it self.

Il manque juste une vision du management des ressources humaines basée sur un style plus global voire mondial. Par exemple par continent, pourquoi pas ou par système (francophone vs anglophone).

Overall, it's good. A little piece of advice from me, please set some standards for people who review the assignment to put their comments so then it could be a good review for the reviewer.

A lot of very useful skills to be applied in the workplace. A wide scope of HR responsibilities and examples to achieve them.

Only issue I had was the inconsistency of grading from peers.
