Average

 
What aspects of the curriculum were most relevant?
1. This was a very time consuming course. Many students in the class had to take time of from work (i.e. vacation or sick days) in order to get the written assignments done on time. It was challenging, but worthwhile.
2. How relevant the Built to Change book is for the majority of the companies represented by the class.
3. Power point presentation
 

 
Least?
1. None
2. The amount of homework was overwhelming for a five week course.
3. I think the Trends, while valuable, could have impacted the class more if more time was dedicated to it.
4. N/A
