well structured
thank you very much i did enjoy a lot the all program was relevant to the current situation of the economy i am really great-full for your courses its time for me to do it in practical With 27 years in the position of an international Information Technology executive in a leading industry where I developed products, managed teams, built offers, negotiated and delivered multi-million dollars contracts worldwide I can only say that this course is very condensed, well structured and covers a wealth of topics for anyone planning to start its own venture.Why did I take this course?
In my opinion the course is very well structured and well organized, because bring real examples to the discussion, It has the slides to support (has a guideline) the discussions with the students, as well it explores each line of the slide and promote the discussion about the subjects with the students.
This is my first MOOC course, and i am finding it amazing from many points of view: video lectures are very clear, examples show updated information, the course schedule is very easy to follow and subjects are well structured.
The quizzes were very well structured since started very stright forward with questions to be answered based on the learnt, to question to do an analysis and answer with ideas developed from the basis of the lectures.
The course had practical references, well structured and was well presented by Dr. James.

video lectures
The video lectures are ordered in a great outline and the detail they go to for the given subject is very precise.
Due to this I have been able to score 98% and above just by taking the video lectures other than applying them in my own career.
I have enjoyed the video lectures and the way the assignments provide instant feedback once you have submitted.
The interaction with the classroom brings what I have found to be a unique mark on video lectures.
Thank you I liked the video lectures a lot, they were of a very good quality.
In another subsequent entrepreneurship course I had taken, while the material was excellent and the instructors were knowledgeable, there was some difficulty in understanding what was spoken in some of the video lectures.

other courses
And now, I have been motivated to enrolled for other courses.
Compared to other courses, this course requires much more time input, but do not worry, it is definitely worth it.
I enrolled in other courses that blended well with this one & piggy-backed the content presented, that helped to understand the concepts presented in this class as the other class offered the tangible practicality I desired.
In other courses, the subject being explained was being read verbatim from a powerpoint presentation, for many of the lectures.
Looking forward to other courses being taught by Prof. Green.

Amazing course, real life experience content well this introduction is good and i learn the basic of the entrepreneurship Very effective and well thought courses.
