This course gives you a good overview of why six sigma and lean are necessary. It also gives you an understanding of how team dynamics play important roles and how brainstorming is an effective tool.

Week 1 quizzes need to be revisited. They are unnecessarily complex and demand information which is not covered by the course.

Great beginner level course. Its really a pain that you can not obtain the text on Amazon. Look for an e-version somewhere.

This book only touched on 1/3 of the book. I'll read the rest on my own time, but it seems too easy from that perspective.

Information repeats and too generic. Questions in the quiz are based on the material, which is not covered on the videos.

They expect you to purchase the course material. Although, if you follow the videos carefully, it can be extremely useful

Some sort of text resources should be available, instead of a external source that forces us to pay a second time.
