Some concepts could have been explained a lot better. Also, there were several instances when the video and reading used different terms to explain the same concept and that was sometimes confusing.

This felt rushed and like an overview, like it was an afterthought. Also some of the quizzes and assignments were ahead of the terminology or concepts taught, so a little out of order at times.

The first two courses were really solid and I learned a lot. This course seemed to rehash materal from other courses and weeks to make the course longer. Felt like I wasn't learning as much.

The content is great, but sometimes the structure of the lessons felt unwieldy. The quiz/assessment questions also left a lot of room for interpretation of the right answer.

This course is very detailed. That explains why it has 5 modules. The instructor was also wonderful. The way she summarizes points at the end of the videos is very helpful.

Too many issues in the activities. The descriptions given in the instructions would not match up with the templates given, or the instructions were often not very clear.

It's a little frustrating being held back when trying to review other's work when they don't submit it correctly. There should be a way for Coursera to flag it, not us.

Reading material should add more summary from video as two previous courses. In addition, the teacher speaking style is too monotone and too unemotional.

The material and templates were super helpful. The presenter was robotic and stiff. Did not seem to have a passion for project management. Rarely smiled.

Too many asignments compacted in one course. The tasks should begin in the earlier courses and carry on to the end vs. changing them.

The content and activities were great, however, it was painfully long and flat. I think it could be chunked down into two parts.

Great material. Some of the videos were perfect. Some were redundant and not so organized, making it difficult to take notes.

Compared to the others, this course is a bit dull and full of repetitions, especially if you have any experience beforehand.

This course was not as engaging as the other courses. There were also more Peer-Graded assignments that were not necessary.

Course too easy and not in depth enough. Would need a lot more, a lot harder tasks to actually learn something.

The coursera keeps asking for Verify ID only to log back to verify ID. its on a loop and will not move forward.

Week 5 content was basically a waste of time, how to build a strong CV doesn't relate to this learning path.

It is pretty good but I didn't like presentation at all :( Informative but it doesn't feel it is organized.

Although very useful information was presented- the style of presenting it was rather dry and boring.
