Interesting to learn
The course was interesting and provides structure to leadership methods including positive qualities you should practice when in a leadership role. There were some problems with text being out of place within the first module. The 2nd module was fine and some final exam questions are quite difficult to interpret and confuses you when trying to give the correct answer. Also noticed a couple of questions asked not in the course content so taking the mock exam will let you know what you need to brush up on before the final exam.
