My rating is more like 3.5 stars, and my concerns are (also) around the peer review portion of this course. I personally "reviewed" several submissions that were clearly plagarized, and in one instance they were given to me back-to-back. Since these same people are responsible for reviewing my work, I am left not entirely sure if I am understanding the course material or just the recipient of a passing grade from someone who is trying to cut as many corners as possible to get to their certificate.

As a whole, I walked away from the course feeling relatively confident that I understood the material presented but if someone asked me whether or not they should take this course, it would come with several caveats.

I have mixed impressions about this particular class. It provides a good amount of information, however, I find the presentation of the topis not up to the standards of course 1 and 3. This one is very contrsating. Many definiotins are not clear or insuficient. Sometimes, the definitions change as you progress thought the course, sometimes even within the same video. This causes confusion. I beleive that the eleven question quizes conains a questions that is not covered in the class. I reviwed the vidoe and the transcript three times and I could not find an answer. I did not experience such an issue in courses 1 or 3. This peresentation and organization are not as solid as in corses 1 and 3.

Peer-reviewed graded assignments portion is flawed. Others and myself included, have had instances, where when submitting the assignment, someone "grades" it, by giving zero scores, but then leaving feedback, such as "great work" or "good project charter", etc., and then you don't pass the course because of this. Clearly there are people out there who either aren't paying attention to what they're clicking when grading, or purposefully sabatoging participant's scores.

Other than the flawed peer-graded assignment, the rest of the course itself was very helpful/insightful, and I thoroughly enjoyed this course.

The certificate aside, there's a lot of good stuff in here if you actually want to learn. It does seem that a lot of the participants are making minimum effort to speed run through it when it comes to peer assignments and group discussion which I find really discouraging. It devalues the certificate and makes me feel like perhaps I'm wasting my time. But like I say, if you want to get into the coursework it's really helpful. The only thin part of the course was in familiarity with tools. They basically give you a list of websites and say to check them out in your spare time.
