Enjoyed this course as part of the Online MBA from UIUC. The concepts are solidly explained with examples and plenty of practice exams that you can re-take unlimited times to test your understanding.

I have been using most of the terminology in my regular work , however now I could understand it better. I am sure the applicability of the terms would be more appropriate . It was a good learning.

I completed the 6 courses, but I did not receive the certificate for the "specialized program." "Capstone" is not available, the program only indicates 6 courses.

I think if you have more example (actual company) how they applied costing method to calculate their production cost, define price... then it's could be better.

Thank you for this fascinating course. It really was a practical period, although its relationship to value chain management was a bit vague.

Very poor support service they do not reply to our emails. Their website is outdated. I am stuck with verifying my ID they keep saying the same thing "Show the encoded text" over and over again even if I take very clear photos. Their robot is the worst ever let me not go any further.
