It is a good course if you want to familiarize yourself with a typical consulting case interview. The instructor provides several examples of cases and goes through the actual interview where we get to read the discussion taking place between the candidate and the interviewer. He goes through two different types of case interviews which are the interviewer-led and the candidate-led. His approach is very easy to follow. Some suggestions to improve the course: - Provide the slides you are using as a PDF document in the course resources. - Provide a list of common jargon used in the business world which would prove to be especially useful for someone not majored in business or economics. For example, I had to Google gross margin to figure out how the value was computed and I know that there are many other values that I should know like this one. A summary of them will be useful. - Finally, in terms of the framework, I think it is a good idea to (at least) list other types of frameworks that are commonly used at the big three management consultancy companies. Other than that, I enjoyed the course and found it interesting :)
