Student reviews and ratings
Summarised from 7 students on StudentVIP (2017–2020)
- The newest reviews (2020, online) are negative: heavy required readings, missing or hard-to-follow recordings, and little guidance on what the exam would cover.
- The pair assignment is worth about half the grade and takes a lot of work, so reviewers stress picking a good partner; one disliked partners being drawn at random.
- Older reviews (2017–2018) are split: some found the material clear and useful for strategy and operations, others found lectures disorganised; a few suggest buying the textbook.
