Information was good, a bit dry at points and the presenter didn't seem that enthused to be presenting. Overall decent course on an important and relevant topic.

Pretty Simple stuff - but would've been better if there was actually something we worked on in a group, or an actual project to 'plan' or gantt chart to create.

The course is good, meets the expectations of the basics of project management, but I found the course very theoretical, I would like more tips from real life

A very basic overview of project management. The presenter follows the slides very closely but doesn't do much to engage the student in thoughtful exercises.

It was full of so much valuable information but no practice at all that's why I couldn't understand everything of it but thank you really for that effort

El contenido no fue lo que esperaba por el precio pagado y la forma de evaluar del curso promueve el memorizar conceptos en lugar de comprenderlos

I would like to see the content spread more evenly over the 4 modules. The fourth module is as long if not longer than the first 3 modules.

Course was informative and a useful refresher but could have done with more worked examples in the tracking area specifically around value.

It is very high level course which will just cover bullet points. Details and elaborated explanation would have been excellent.

It was a good course but I felt that the teaching was done only by looking at the bullet points and not elaborated.

Very basic. The structure is odd; the last week contains more material than the rest of the course put together.

In my opinion a clear guideline is missing. The terms are not always the same and it's sometimes confusing.

The class and the content is very good! But the way that the professor teachs is kind of boring for me.

The videos are too much elongated and boring. They failed to give good information in interactive way.

The cource is very basic. You should only take this, if you know nothing about project management.

Speaker is too fast and too vague, he doesn't seem to be overly interested in the subject matter.

The quiz section is very hard and not user friendly. Feedback system is quite poor either
