The information presented was good & easily understood. Personally, I didn't care for the couple of AI generated videos in the course. Some of the quiz questions were a bit wordy & challenging to understand what was actually being asked. Overall, I definitely learned from the course & would recommend it!

The first video could have been explained better or worded differently. The AI content was lazy.

The course is very well-structured and has great, practical examples. The professor is very concise, and I really liked that the videos are short but still have enough information to fully understand the topics. The flashcards are also a great tool to remember the key learnings.
The only issues are that one video link is outdated, and I think it would be even better if you could add a more detailed explanation on how the value and the multiple were calculated in the third module's case study. Overall, it is an excellent course!

Pretty clear starter on value creation. Really makes you see company value as a function of both magnitude and frequency. Like a machine.
