Very detailed yet easy to digest about Project Management Foundation. However, there is room for that improvement, for kanban and waterfall can use real kanban board for students to learn and experience real situations.

Amazing course on Basics of Project Management. Though it was little bit theoretical and there was some repetition of same information in videos and then in reading material, overall topics were covered in quite detail.
