The course has good theory structure and real-life assignments that will provoke you to apply immediately what you have learned. I enjoyed the lecture's clear pronunciation. It is easy to follow.

Thank you for the course.

What I did not like is - first in the course it is explained how to influence others and in the end of the course it is explained what to be done so not to get influenced by others. That means others will do the same when you are trying to influence.

Nevertheless, I liked few points from videos in week 2 & 3.

Demasiado lento y desactualizado ya que el material es de 2015. Intenté cancelarlo pero no me deja hacerlo. No he podido contactar a alguien en persona para hacerlo ya que no quiero que me vayan a hacer cargos a mi forma de pago.
