Good overview on the power of communication and storytelling. First week was quite comprehensive. I would have appreciated if there were more exercises in the following weeks.

Great course! The teacher is great and very interesting. However, I think there was a lot of questions and not enough answers or examples. But the overall is still excellent.

This course helped me in understanding the basics of story telling. How to structure the flow in order to make a meaningful impact. How to be prepared to address any issue.

Good content however I feel the instructors need to have more of a presence on the discussion forums or Coursera needs to select a community mentor for this course.

More questions after each module will help to understand the sub topics very clearly. Content is excellent. The final exercise covers a detail of every section.

Although I enjoyed all aspects of the course, I think that there should be more content added in terms of quizzes and mandatory reading materials.

Good storytelling advice. Please split up the homework between the weeks vs. a all at the end to allow for room to think between questions.

Overall the course was a good learning experience, albeit not all parts are equally impactful. The by far best item is the Narrative Map.
