Thank you for this insightful course on common but often neglected issues in the business world. I really enjoyed this course as it was quite detailed. The shorter videos made it easier to complete the course quickly at least for me. I also loved the fact that you provided your slides, and so many insightful resources during the course, with quizzes to make sure that concepts are fully understood.
