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.

Nice overview in topic, but too repetitive, high leve, and too less connection to practical use cases or examples and no material for later review

The course is very good. I think that the book should be mandatory because watching the videos without reading the book might confuse students.

I expected that in a course you pay for you have the text you "must read", not also buy a book and read the pages. I feel quite disappointed.

The contents are good and informative, but the presentations and the speeches (videos) are below acceptable and completely old-fashioned.

This course is too rudimentary and spends too much time on the very basics. Even as a beginner I found this course too easy.

The slides used in the video presentations are somewhat messy, thus, making the course content unnecesserarily complicated.

you need to figure out things by yourself. Customer support only helps with technical issues. You cannot ask the teachers.

The recommended book is highly recommended as it provides details not covered in lectures and required to pass quizzes.

You need to read the accompanying book as the presentations don't cover everything, particularly the quiz questions.
