Ce cours est la parfaite illustration du baratin pseudo-profond : du vide intellectuel, des banalités. Bref, pas mieux que des livres de développement personnel dans une librairie d'ésotérisme.

It's not an useful course as I expected. The instructor's lecture is very boring , unclear. He just discuss some theory but not explained them properly. I just waste my time maybe.

I can't deal with Rob Stone. He talks a lot of hypatheticles and I have struggled through all of the courses here that he has taught. He spends way too much time on each slide.

Very basic mook with superficial classes about problem-solving techniques. A deeper presentation about Pareto and root causes analysis would be more valueble.
