The peer graded part needs to be redone. It is very difficult to have someone else not certified to do such a job based on their knowledge gathered mostly from this course so far. It should either be an AI or a quiz assignment.

Peer review is why this course is given 1 star. Waiting on peers to grade assignments in order to complete the course is horrible.

Excellent content, wonderful use of multi-media interaces and check points to keep the pace moving and great introduction of different stories and people with real life perspectives and experiences.

peer graded assignments are keeping me from completing the course and gaining access to my certificate

To be honest I don't like the idea that other "students" grades our assignments. If I fail I need to submit my work again and then wait TOO LONG for a response and continue with next course.

Submissions are always rejected by other users to generate anticipation and an inability to continue the course.

This was a pretty informative course. I did enjoy the activities they pushed me to learn new tech. good job. I only had a major technical issue with one activity, it was in week four.

Thank you!

It was very good course I developed and learned so many skills in this course which fundamentals for Initiation of project. Like project charter, shareholders analysis, RACI charts and so much more.

Juanne (Instructor) was great - very well spoken and easy to understand. There's a lot of material here! The peer review for some of the assignments is interesting - I did learn from doing it, but I'm not certain that everyone will grade the same way. It's only a few assignments, so even if it's a bit skewed, it won't sway things too much, and the learning makes it worthwhile.

The course material good but the peer grading process is poor. Requiring you to download others documents to your computer to review is a giant security risk. All documents should be required to be cloud based. This is a google course, google docs are free, there is nothing limiting everyone from using that platform.

Genuinely no time was wasted on this course! If you're new to Project Management, you'll take away so much value. The program is well-designed and well-delivered, leaving you challenged and fueled, instead of feeling stressed and inadequate. You get interactive assessments to build strong fundamentals in developing a project charter, understanding OKRs, learning how to perform Stakeholder Analysis and RACI charts. All of these that you will come to know of, will contribute greatly to your knowledge base as an aspiring project manager. If you dedicate a couple of hours a day, you can power through this easily in 2 weeks!

This has been a good learning experience. I now know the different project management tools available. I have a good understanding of project initiation and how to determine the success of a project.

Thank you so much for creating and putting together such a valuable course. Thank you, I learned a lot! Online education is a future, it's way better and more engaging than boring college classes!!!

Dear team,

The course I am enrolled in offers a lot more than what I expected and I am more than satisfied with my study. Thank you for offering me the opportunity to do this course!

An area which can be improved is the Quizzes questions and answers vs what is said in the videos.

RE: Google Project Management Professional Certificate Quiz issue

Please find below the discrepancy between what was said in the videos and the answers in the final Quiz, Week 2, Course 2 – Project Initiation:

A project sponsor is the person who is accountable for the project and who ensures the project delivers the agreed upon value to the business. They play a vital leadership role throughout the process. Sometimes they fund the project.

There are several other factors that can cause role confusion. For example, there might be

· unbalanced workloads, which means some people might be doing more work or less work than others on the team.

After the foundation of project management, this was a great second course to learn all the details about project initiation and planning. There are so many factors that can ruin a good project before it ever started. So it's essential to get off a good start! This course teaches you all about that and some extra.

This is a fantastic course your offering Google. I worked as a Project Manager for several years but I've been on disability for 10 years and it's a great course. Thank you for offering something so affordable that I could take to give me a refresher and help me get my bearings again to get back into the job market!!

Great presentation, very useful pieces of information and charts. Different ways to answer important questions. Creating project goals, scopes, and presentations. Collaboration with different tools.

It was a great course with excellent content. My major reservation is that my peer-graded assignment has not been graded for a month now.

This means that I cannot receive a certificate of completion for the course despite meeting all the requirements, including grading 3 peer assignments (which is more than the minimum required).

Furthermore, there has been no response from coursera support despite several communications via their email form and their in-page flag.

The peer review is the most annoying addition to this course. My goal is to complete each course within 3-5 days and complete the entire 6 months in less than a month, but looks like my project shows 99 percent, because I have to be at someone's mercy to review my assignment. Besides, I reviewed a few assignments, and they are all blank - flaged a few already for no content, but kept getting more of similar, had to review the blank.

I really enjoyed this course and found it very informative. My only struggle with this was in the peer-reviewed assignments. Feedback from the peer reviewers was limited, and when reviewing others, if a person had linked a Google doc but hadn't made it accessible to anyone with a link, I was unable to access it and review it. The course did not provide an option (that I could see) to skip that person's assignment and move to the next one, so the only way to review another assignment (required to review two assignments in order to have your own graded) was to go into the discussion boards and find people who had posted links asking to have theirs reviewed.

These are not written by people with an understanding of true adult learning pedagogy. They are not appropriate for actually teaching people who are "beginners" to the concept and should be rated "intermediate". I've written online courses and worked as a curriculum writer and educator for 16 years. These are poorly done and now I find myself, massively disappointed two courses having to admit that so far I have not retained even half of the information being crammed into the courses. I've wasted my time completely and I feel less ready now than I honestly did before I started taking these courses. If anyone feels like these classes aren't working for you, you're not alone.

everything is excellent. but i am facing the problem that says 'upgrade to submit' when i traied to submit the peer graded assignment. and it is been 3 weeks i stucked on this module. please help me.

A great introduction to understanding the basis of completing a project. Teaches the fundamental building block needed for any successful projects and techniques every project manager needs.

Excellent course that goes into the details of starting a successful project. This was a meaty unit that required persistence to finish. However, it was completely worth it!!

Great content as usual , definitely has lot of valuable information and tools for a project manager to add to his armor !!
