Probably the best course I've taken in Coursera, or at least, almost this.
Very interesting and challenging. Videos and rest of material provided is very appropriate, it´s not boring or unnecessary.
Interaction with your course mates is key, you get to know very inspiring people and their ideas or comments on yours are definitely very helpful. I'd definitely recommend it and no doubt I will follow on with the next course of this same program.
As a business management student with a strong interest in this matter, I found the course really useful for those who are rather begginers in this subject.
Coursera provides universal access to the world’s best education, partnering with top universities and organizations to offer courses online.
I enjoy videos and the reflexions about social entrepreneurship.
