Ratings and Reviews
It's a very good course. So many tactics to make a presentation effective.
It was a great learning experience! The instructors were helpful and the teaching techniques were innovative! Thank you to the creators of this course, Coursera and PwC for their efforts!
It delivers exactly what it promises to do, give lots of tools to make better presentations. Not just better slides (lots of that, mind you) but also better delivery and presentation. Very applicable to my professional life.
I didn't like the use of that airline example. Without having taken the related course, coming up with material on an unfamiliar topic was not ideal.
