Not for public viewing.

The course was informative and very worth the time investment. Having experience in Learning and Development, I appreciated the delivery method. In addition to the value of the content itself, the brevity of the content on the slides and the length of the modules enhanced the learning and I am thankful for having had the opportunity to take this course.

FYI - Although it did not impact the learning effectiveness, there were several typographical/grammatical errors in the written materials.

Thank you.

This introductory course is a good entry into the world of ESG. The videos are quite good. What is missing are references to literature, research papers, articles etc. This I did myself (with the help of Google). The focus is on the WHAT and less on the HOW - maybe this will come in the next course of the specialisation. Thanks to Wharton and professor Henisz for this course.

Están buenos los ejemplos pero sí es algo confuso, no es tan claro con lo que dice, se necesita mucha inteligencia para leer entre líneas. Por otra parte los exámenes están un poco raros porque te preguntan cosas no muy relevantes, casi que te tienes que aprender de memoria todo lo que dice para responderlo jaja pero sí considero aprendí muchas cosas nuevas.

Excellent subject matter. However, the slides and accompanying text were clearly not proofread -- spelling errors abound as well as grammatical errors. Maybe an AI-bot must did the transcription. Seems like low hanging fruit to have a human actually proof.

Very well=structured and relevant course with well-researched case studies. The instructor however needs to talk slower and more clearly so that the message is not lost in communication, otherwise, he is very knowledgeable on the subject.

This training provided me the historical examples of failure of businessess and how ESG implementation helped each of the cases discussed to mitigate them along with ways how risks and opportunities can be quantified. Great learning.

Good content to bring insights and use cases.

Taking into account a more open vision, I would say that would be nice to have more cases and examples for companies that work with services only and for more agile projects.

Course has introduced many new concepts and themes to me. It covers a range of topics which are well illustrated through examples. There could be some more faculty as it becomes monotonous to listen to same faculty.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and gained some helpful knowledge. Presentation was very professional and informative; however, I believe some of the material should be simplified or aligned better with the slides.

The course gives you understanding about the ESG, its integration to your company's management perspective, discusses various cases etc. However, it feels people already working in this field will benefit better.

Very speech intensive - materials could gain from higher interactiveness, less wordy/texty.

Case studies in particular could be more impactful if presented with a broader range of techniques
