Some of the material and case-studies were very basic.

More real-life examples would help in strengthening the points presented

I would recommend it for a first introduction to problem solving. But not for experienced professional. It is very theoretic.

Too simplistic. Just provides a few common sense methods of making decision, nothing more.

The lessons this course on "problem solving" teaches might be appropriate for children but it's really just a hoop to jump through. It's about obedience and compliance, vague and packed with buzzwords. I found the content tiresome, but I guess it holds some value as a tutorial for the platform's functionality.
