I really enjoyed this class and feel like I learned a LOT. I especially enjoyed creating my pitch deck as we progressed through the course. This made it seem so much less overwhelming and enjoyable.

The Coursera course has taught me a lot about business and has done it in a great way. First of all, you are taught by real business owners and entrepreneurs, who use their own experiences to guide you through challenges and steps that you have to take. It also goes more into depth of the basics, such as marketing, stock, supply, and more. It teaches you the important things to look out for such as the correct timing and methods to do them. It also helps you layout and set up a proper business plan, so when you have the idea and mostly the other things like the name and slogan figured out, you're ready to go. It also constantly quizzes you in order to ensure that you are paying attention and get a general idea of each lesson. But, with every course, there are also flaws. Though Coursera does very well helping beginners start a business plan up, it could always do it better. I personally think that the course could definitely be improved in three aspects: organization, time management, and the interviews. First off, the course is well structured and gets the job done, but I feel that the assessments could be done less frequently to give the students more time to actually understand the lesson. I mainly think that the units could be better structured for each area covered and explored. Second, I think the videos and lessons could be way shorter to save time and could still get the main points across from the lesson. Though they teach you a lot, there were many moments where I felt that she was more like droning and expanding rather than just giving me the main information. Lastly, I feel that the interviews from the business owners were too short to actually have any takeaways from them, which I think was mainly due to how much time the lesson videos took up unnecessarily. I personally would like to hear more about their experiences and maybe a little less droning from the lesson videos to help me take away more points and learn better. All in all, the Coursera course definitely wasn't perfect, but it helped a lot and it got the job done.

It is a good course; informative and with lots of templates and activities to create a good business pitchdeck. But the important thing is that, it should be mentioned at the beginning of the course and also in the description that this course is mainly targeted at people who are in the US, as all examples and themes are aimed at the people in the US. For those who are indeed in the US and are launching their businesses there, this course would be invaluable. But for the rest of us who are not in the US and never plan to be, there are many parts that don't apply to us and we do miss out on a lot of info that would otherwise be of extreme use. But overall, compared to the other Launching Online Business course that is available on Coursera, this course is by far better, easier to understand and follow, and without lengthy Peer-graded assignments, which are actually not useful. So in summary, a good course but it would be an exceptional one for those who are in the US.

Me parecio super completo! Lo unico que puedo comentar para mejorar es que las pruebas estan hechas en inglés y aveces la traducción al español al ser literal, no estan exactamente bien hechas. Así que recomiendo que se pueda mejorar esta parte del curso, por lo demás, excelente! me encantó.

I found this course very interesting and fulfilling. I learned a lot about how to Launch my own Online Business and I learnt how to apply what I learned to my own situation. I am looking forward to implementing what I learned in the very near future.

I found this course practical and thorough. There is a ton of work involved though, to the point where it almost got discouraging, especially if you are trying to actually launch your business while doing the course.

This is a well-organized, engaging, easy to follow course. My only suggestion would be to update some of the content and make corrections to some materials that include typos and formatting issues.
