I liked the format and the assignments. The assignments did however take a lot of time to complete. I think you need to give more info about how to prototype as I'm still not confident with this

Probably the hardest so far of the Org Leadership Specialization, but in a good way. This course really stretched me and gave me skills I can use with any job.

This course has a painfully long assignment, which doesn't match the online course criteria.

Takes too long; requires people, drawing, and is more intrusive than thought provoking
