It is a business centred course that will help you understand the most important metrics. It includes comprehensive glossaries and lectures that will help you in the process and a lot of case studies.

as a science student, I think the course is easy to learn. It provides a lot of concepts which I can only remember a little though I understand their meanings.

The professor is great and easy to follow but it would be great if there were more optional reading materials and if some of the information was more clear.

It gives general idea about different metrics , Every organization uses these things differently .There is no fixed standard way these are supposed to be .

I learned a lot from this course. I am giving it 4 stars because sometimes the lessons were disjointed from one topic to another. Otherwise, good content.

It is quite great for beginners, though the final task being graded by as clueless newbies as me, may not be very good. The lectures are good Thank you.

Good course overall. For areas of improvement, I would recommend a more cohesive content that is consistent with the rest of the specialization course.

It is quite good but I hope it could be better. Also, the knowledge in this course is quite basic, of course it is still interesting and important.

Great presentation, interesting material. Both fun and enlightening, but there were a few rough edges that could be polished up. Strongly recommend!

The teaching videos sometimes have a traditional style of presentation. However, they managed to capture the important aspects of business metrics.

good materials that accompany the work. The quizzes were a bit confusing on wording. There could be more details provided for an incorrect answer.

Very inspiring content, though I found the financial analysis part is rather heavy and boring (Maybe because I am not so interested in finance).
