Very well structured course....especially for those of use who don't have a background in business. Videos were short and to the point. Readings were well postured.

O conteúdo é bom, mas fica muito prejudicado pela má qualidade das legendas. Elas são muito desconexas com o andamento dos vídeos. Na maior parte do tempo as legendas são significativamente atrasadas em relação ao vídeo. Em outros momentos elas andam rápido demais e nem dá tempo de ler, tendo que ficar retornando o vídeo. Em alguns vídeos faltou a sensibilidade de layout, pois os textos, brancos em fundo preto, foram colocados na mesma posição onde são inseridas as legendas, ou seja, se você usa legendas, fica uma "sopa de letrinhas" que mistura a legenda com o texto do slide, obrigando a pausar o vídeo para decifrar o que está escrito. Além disso, há sistemáticas, longas e desnecessárias pausas nas falas entre os slides, algumas chegando a cerca de 10 segundos, o que também contribui para a quebra de fluidez do conteúdo. Outra coisa que atrapalha e irrita muito são os quizzes, pois eles são extremamente mal posicionados na timeline dos vídeos, pipocando no meio das explicações interrompendo-as quando menos se espera, o que também prejudica o fluxo do conteúdo. Eles mais atrapalham do que contribuem para o aprendizado. Enfim, o conteúdo em si é bom, mas pouco fluído, moroso. Por conta disso o aprendizado fica comprometido e o curso acaba custando muito mais do que o tempo previsto.

The final assignment is just asking the same questions as asked during each assignment of each week. Some data is old. It's only reading information and answering questions, it's not very interactive and doesn't make you think.
