The presentation also involves you having to know someone who is willing to share all the financial details about their company which makes it very difficult to do. Course material is rarely talked about in class and exams are hard",

You have to read the textbook on your own and every synchronous class is a student presentation. His lectures are all interviews with entrepreneurs and it feels quite sporadic.",
