Very insightful , full of detailed explanation about team building very effective in identifying personal traits of a leader especially the concept of inclusive leader was inspiring and mind changing.

Honestly, its one of the most effective online foundational course on effective leadership. I'm particularly overwhelmed by the much I have learnt about utilising the group decision making process.

Good comperehensive course, however I found it abit too theoretical at times, would be great to have more practical examples from real companies/case studies aligned with theories presented

Simplistic in it's format and presentation. Too much reliance on peer grading of very short writing pieces. Did not feel particularly professional.

Good for new leaders. However as an experienced Management Professional, some of the items were repetetive but good refresher.

Good organization and lecture format, but stressfully strict rubrics on the assignments given the peer review structure.

Overall good content but the Case Studies could use some work. One link was broken and I had to guess through a quiz.

Content of the week 4 could be more example oriented and would be better if it has been elaborated more.

Mostly touchy-feely patronizing academic content w/ an over-reliance on group work.

The professor has some interesting little points, but overall I found it to be a pretty boring and elementary course.

The most annoying part is the assignments which not only push you out to an external website, but require you to either coordinate with others using the forum or with outside people. Based on the structure, it would take about 20 times longer to FIND some to do the assignment with than it takes to actually DO the assignment. This aspect completely defeats the purpose of doing an online class.

THE MATERIAL IS GREAT THOUGH THE CERTIFICATE AQUIRING ACQUIRING IS LONG AND INTRECATE WHICH SHOULD BE VERY SIMPLE AFTER YOU FINISH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. VERIFICATION OF ID TAKES CENTURIES WHICH DO NOT ATTRACT YOU TO TAKE OTHER RELATED COURSE WITH SAME INSTITUTE BECAUSE WITH OTHER INSTITUTES ITS A MATTER OF SECONDS.

I'm reviewing this course with two stars because it needs updating. I found that the writing prompt questions were interesting, but then the grading rubrics were not at all in line with the question being asked, therefore, I'd need to go back and write a new answer, despite answering the original question!
