The data used for the case studies is old(2009-2013) and it gives the impression that the course is not as current.

Fantastic teacher. *****

Although the slides are good, I think a reference book or document would be very helpful.

Informative and useful, even if, in my opinion, at times a bit boring, but that's probably due to the topic.
