Five weeks ago, I wouldn't think about recording myself presenting. To be honest, I would look for any excuse to get away from it. This course pushed me in the right direction, I learned a lot and ended up with 10+ videos presenting different topics.

This course made me work for the grade more than most. I would like to see grading rubics for the assignments BEFORE I have to turn them in so I know what I am being graded on. A lot of video presentations were required in this course, and I had to invest and upgrade my webcam to capture a good video on the final presentation. Overall, this was a good course, and probably the hardest course for me out of the nine required for the Engineering Leadership and Management certificate.

I really like the challenge to record yourself and practice. If you are not willing to do that - don't take the course. You can't get better in speaking - by reading. Leave your comfort zone and give it a try - it works.

The course is great, it provides valuable insights into how to communicate and create effective presentations and pushes you out of your comfort zone with the capstone projects. I have already applied this course's techniques at work with great effect. However, the only reason it does not get 5 starts is due to the difficulty of the peer review process (which is not the course's fault but Coursera's). A lot of fellow learners simply do not take the course seriously, do not engage in useful discussion, and just outright do not do the assignments.
