  • It was an excellent course with lots of case studies and related stories. Though the topics were not very in depth, I totally enjoyed it. Very good for those, who are not quite familiar with business education and marketing.

    This course covered some traditional topics, but the most special part of this course is that: they use stories to boot out their topics, and this made the course more exciting!
