    An absolutely wonderful course on communication skills. Its a course every professional should take as it teaches the very basics of communication that we all should incorporate and practice everyday.

    This is one of the best courses I've attended. The instructor was impressive. I learned a lot from this course. I absolutely recommend this course to anyone willing to improve her/his communication.

    It gives good advice but it does not tell you how to communicate in the way to speak your mind.

    Quite a bland course with a lot of academic theories and tangent deliveries that aren't business or personal development-related. The quizzes are nothing more than memorizing or identifying textbook terms and definitions most of the time rather than case studies or practical applications. Feels more like an intro 101 college course.

    Some bright spots but no deep exercises to drive home the learning

    This course just wastes u time. Meaningless and unuseful. They just tell you some common phrase that u can take from Wikipedia.

    Course is worthless.
