I find this course to be the most useful in terms of practical application. Some of the previous courses felt a bit bogged down by the technical aspects, but I guess this may be unavoidable.

Content is Very good. Although the Admins could look in to the peer-review process, its very slow and people have to wait days. Of about 100 posts in the discussion forum, more than 95 are people asking why their assignments are not getting reviewed.

Very good material. It is interesting to create a case study.

It was challenging to find enough material from open sources which can help you built up the scenario.

Clever assignment. But, the instructions for grading fall short. I have a feeling my comments were not committed when I submitted when I should have clicked to add a comment. I also have a feeling the assignments are not really someone else's actual work. One submission was extremely bad - so bad as to suggest that it was a plant. But, whatever, I did my own work with diligence and that's what matters.

This could be a part of another course, is like they run out of material and create a 4 week course justo to charge you more. 5 to 10 obvious questions for each 5 case studies, then the peer graded assignment that is just filling a powerpoint template, I work hard on that template, and people just upload random PDF's and two times they upload my own assignment, I report them but I think most of the people pass with just random content or plagiarizing. Peer graded assignments doesn't work anymore.
