This course exceeded my expectations. It was fun and engaging and immensely useful for me both professionally and personally. I immediately enrolled in the next course in the specialization.

Completely worth the time and content. It helps you to explore future possibilities with a better framework and science coming directly from practitioners in the field.

Good value for money (assuming it takes you no more than one week to complete the course), but too much reading versus video teaching. In addition most of the reading material looks more like IFTF marketing material. I would have hoped to learn more tools and read less case studies/examples. The quizzes and assignments are too trivial and do not really test if you have understood the covered material.

Great course, loved the material and examples and how it was structured. Needs updating especially post COVID!
I was disappointed by the quality of other participants who didn't even bother with the assignments, let alone starting any interesting discussions. But I guess that's usual with MOOCs!

Some students are not taking the writing assignments seriously and we get punished for flagging them as incomplete even though I have reviewed them. Suggest if we flag something it should count as a review and maybe don't allow both reviews to be flagged.

A great course overall. A couple of links need to be updated. Would have loved to get feedback from peers or moderators who would take the time to read my responses in the peer-reviewed assignments.

It's a fun course but not one I'd pay to take. It felt like a big advertisement for the other courses in this series. I suppose that they DID need to explain what future's thinking is before diving deeper, but it's not like it's some rocket science concept.
But it was a fun course nonetheless.

A big chunk of the course is dedicated to tell how important a certain set of skills is, and what you could learn in the next courses; not in discussing what constitues these skills or presenting tools in which to use they are important.
