    as an introductory course, I appreciated the contents and the readings. I think the course could be improved creating more visual structured contents and infographics to summarize the concepts and the variables involved. Sometimes id pretty hard to focus on the ongoing narrative flows that is very dense and sometimes pretty general.

    Would be nice to see some samples of RFP and discuss them from real cases. Some templates should be provided.

    The final coursework is pretty challenging but worth the effort because it really help to go ddeper in a real world market research mindset and scenario.

    Overall, a good course.

    Overall experience was good, and I am sure that I would go watch it for a second time, but during the learning process, all I get was the vague structure and concept which were pretty hard to internalize, maybe I should combine them with actual practice in some real working senario....

    So I would say it is not what I expected in terms of starting my senior market research project in a academic way....

    The course has been structured and executed in a really nice way. Props to the instructor for that. I have only two suggestions:

    I) There should be more weightage on the peer review project than the quizzes.

    II) Can something be done to speed up the review process in the last assignment? I saw a couple of pending submissions that are still awaiting review since the last month or so.

    I received a quite unfair assessment from a participant who seems like he does not fully understand the lesson, which affects my final score. I think it would be better if we can reply the feedback that the other participants give for our final project: so we can discuss and clarify which judgment is right or wrong.

    Only four stars, as despite the clear request on how to give a feedback (well-packaged, constructive etc.), I just got an extremely offensive answer from a fellow-student with claims, that are just simply not true. This review has definitely a negative effect on my motivation to continue with the course.

    Good overview. The assignment required that we create an RFP if we chose to have research done outside. We were never given any guidance on how to create an RFP. This information should have been provided in the course, or you should not have required us to create an RFP.

    I thought the material was great! It gave me a lot to learn and read about! A great introduction to the topic of market research. I particularly liked the focus on how to apply the knowledge in the real world. Jim's anecdotes are also enlightening.

    This course is really good for me and I think also for all the students who have taken it. It provides us a clear definition of what's market research and its components. I really like it.
