The content is good, but the recording is not very good. It's too robotic and we can hear speaker's breathing, it's kind of annoying.

good introductions about six sigma and lean, it is good for a beginner but the quizzes sometimes are not related direct to the videos

Good concepts. I think they need more projects or concrete examples, because I have seen people use these principles incorrectly.

Week 1 quizzes need to be revisited. They are unnecessarily complex and demand information which is not covered by the course.

Great beginner level course. Its really a pain that you can not obtain the text on Amazon. Look for an e-version somewhere.

This book only touched on 1/3 of the book. I'll read the rest on my own time, but it seems too easy from that perspective.

Information repeats and too generic. Questions in the quiz are based on the material, which is not covered on the videos.

They expect you to purchase the course material. Although, if you follow the videos carefully, it can be extremely useful

I would like to see more graphic elements or talks between professors, not only text and presentations with more text

Some sort of text resources should be available, instead of a external source that forces us to pay a second time.
