Los primeros módulos fueron super intuitivos y rápidos de aprender, pero los últimos 2 si son mas rudos y hay que detenerse a buscar información relacionada para complementar.

Sound delivery of concepts that need to be understood. My only thought was that there needed to be more introduction to the technical skillsets needed (Which i'm sure will come later in the course but I would value it in the introduction as well.)

I have learnt a new aspects of Business Analyst through Coursera. Thank you for giving such an insight and hand-on experience on software like JIRA, LucidChart, MS Excel, Confluence.

As someone who has worked at an OPM (online program management) company before, developing executive education courses, I found the production of this course to be subpar. There are numerous QA errors (for example, one of the guest instructors is saying "tech stack" but it appears on the slides and captions as "text tech"). The design of the slides don't factor in caption placement on the Coursera platform, where the captions often block crucial content on the slides. While I appreciate the inclusion of experts, they are mostly reading scripts and often looking off camera (with a major exception from Ramanujan Srinivasan who is easily the most engaging expert in the course - loved his contributions!) I'm also confused as to who the target is for this course. Some of the activities are so basic (like how to make a simple table in Excel) that it feels like it is for someone with zero technical skills. But then other activities (such as the final project) require some domain expertise to fully get the value out of completing the activity. If you haven't worked in healthcare, how would you know all of the implications needed to make a digital transformation of a medium-sized hospital? Ultimately, this falls way short of what I would expect from IBM in terms of quality. While I find it useful to understand some core concepts and learn the "language" of becoming a business analyst, it leaves much to be desired.
