    Good coverage of activism. Particularly interesting is the coverage of corporate governance and the role the board of directors play.

    Very good, rounded content and structure. The use of examples and corporate structures and practice is heavily focussed on US companies. Some international examples will add value. In a minor point, some sides have typos and misspelt words.

    This is a well taught class, good examples, the instructor is a good lecturer (maybe a little too much reading off the slides). However I'm taking this class so that I can apply for ESG positions and the class is really aimed at members of the board and CEOs -- I'm not likely, for example, to be in a position to create a "poison pill" to block a takeover, for example.
