This course was an exceptional experience where it introduces me to building a data science team, its challenges, nuances and also what kind of approach to take while building and sustaining the team.

Very well organized. Might consider adding couple of additional speakers with with more executive and management level experience with organizations that successfully implemented Data Science.

This material is important, but the assessment quizzes were tedious as the right answer often hung on some small obscure remark that was hard to recall.

Should not be part of a course "Executive Data Science". very basic and no real insight into what makes a data science team different (if indeed it is).

No me gustó, dado que la información no es clara y no se puede avanzar de forma adecuada debido a que las evaluaciones son muy confusas.

Seemed like his personal ideas. I didn't see any indication the information was based on any research or empirical study.
