The information was as expected, the accents bothered me a bit. I cant remember if you told me anything about the experts talking. At least I dont know their names or anything alse after watching the videos. Maybe I wasnt looking if there was info as texts.

Excelentes invitados, pero hace falta saber el paso a paso de cómo implementar un ejercicio de behavioral economics en la vida real... me gustaría lago más práctico... aplicable. Esta fue una reunión de varios casos de éxito solamente.

The title of this course definitely made me very curious and I am so happy I took it. I am working in banking and sometimes it's hard to sell our products and services but this course made me come up with new ideas and ways how I could me more successful in this field. To be honest with you - I cannot believe that in such a short time I was able to learn so much. THANK YOU!

This has so much useful information it's hard to believe it's an excerpt of a bigger course. It's practical and immediately applicable. It's also well designed. Even though the actual content is short, I found the need to work through it over several days as there's such a lot to take in and consider.

Course is good but it is rather elementary in nature, its OK because it is just a 1.5 hour course but the reading material is very good! I would have loved it more with more real life examples big companies use to tick the consumer.

Chapter 7 on Sales of French fries needs to be dealt with in more depth. Please add resources if possible for the same. This was extremely superficial and surface level. I'd love to know more as to how this problem was tackled. Apart from that, the rest was good. Would be nice if you could elaborate on all 18 Principles and not just 3 of them.

As a third-year college student majoring in Psychology, it was incredibly interesting to see different concepts of psychology applied in marketing and economics. It provided me a different perspective on how much influence human psychology has on product purchases without one even realizing it, which will be incredibly useful to me as someone who is a CEO/ consultant of a social media promotion company.

Its a subject that by its very nature involves an element of supposition and intuition, which is why the framing context of learning around it is so important. The lecturers were clear, engaging and charismatic, and i feel inspired to delve further into the field of study.
By Rayen Bosch on 5/14/2020
Good course to understand the importance and concepts of behavioural economics. A slight understanding of economics will help you to understand quicker what is being said in the videos. But it is all explained in an understandable manner. Perhaps a quiz or some assignments could help to study the concepts in more depth.
By Kalyanakrishnan R on 5/3/2020
Cool course for giving insights on behavioral economics and why it goes hand in hand with sales and marketing. Good tutors and clarity videos with great color contrasts. Although I would be little more happier if there are few more videos on few more concepts. Great Job anyways !!
