Great concise course with very good pacing. The lecture on Lean was the one I appreciated the most. The instructor was able to condense and express what he wanted to in a very efficient manner.

Very good introduction to outline the difference in project mgmt, programme mgmt and construction mgmt. Enough detail on various aspects for CM including type of contracts, technology and planning.

A little simplistic with just lectures and quizzes. Just scratches the surface of general knowledge. If assignments were added to the course and the lectures expanded the course would offer more value.

Overall it's good. Depending on the customer's level of experience in construction. Some of the classes are very basic knowledge. But the structure of the course is consistent.

This is so much information. I feel if the coarse was a little more interactive it would benefit me as an individual more. some of the videos just go on and on.

The sessions sometimes were too long for a subject that really didnt needed that amountof time. For example : Planning and scheduling

Lectures could be a bit more insightful. The lecturer offers little more insight than the main concepts and what is shown in slides.

The modules need updating considering the pandemic economy, rising interest rates, and higher inflation have all affected the construction industry.

Nothing about this course makes it interesting. If it was interesting, one would have the urge to return to continue with this course.

[Staff],

Sorry But I though I was going to learn hands on work practical experiences that I could use on my resume for actually getting a job since this is the main reason why I study not just for theory information like this course was.

I feel I was expecting more like for example showing if this construction project management is more like an office job rather than the heavy labour that most construction workers go through because I am only interested in office job and i thought this could be use for my resume to land a job but i didn't learn any technical here are all the courses like that?

Because I don't want to waste my time taking something that I am not going to learn any technical skill that could be use for receiving employment after completing the courses or degrees.

Regards
