Very informative. Did not realize there was more in order to get the certificate. Need to be more transparent with the actual course agenda and allow for a less controlled way to get thru the courses.

So much information was packaged in this course but it was so well organized and delivered that I was compelled to complete every segment. Well timed quizzes helped to ensure my comprehension as well.

In the past, I had experience with project management so I thought this course - Foundations of Project management was unessessary. However, I realized that I was totally wrong. I get understanding deeply about project management, what the responsiblities of PM, how to add value to the team....Thanks for creating an amazing course for someone like me.

This course(a part of the 6-course Project Management Certification) is a good introductory course on Project Management. Despite being an introductory course, it provides us with sufficient amount of details and key terms and concepts in the domain. Really loved the course! Looking forward to completing the remaining courses in the certificate soon!

I enjoyed this course. The videos were brief and to the point with great follow up notes. It allowed me to stay focused and be able to do segments with limited available time. It was eye opening to learn about different organizational structures and particularly the role of project managers in change management. I cannot wait to do the next course.

Great streamline course to help re-fresh project management knowledge. It also helped to reinforce that everyone has done project management in their lives and teaches you how to bring your new skills into the job market. I really like their job hunting tips and tools and I feel like this course has also helped me gain more confidence in this space.

A lot of this resonated with what I already do, but I really appreciated the assessments in particular. It wasn't just repeating the information from the materials, but actually thinking about how to apply it to particular contexts. I found this really engaging and would recommend it to anyone dipping their toe into the world of project management.

Excellent course. I enjoyed the content. The practical usage of the material was instantaneous. I work with three non-profits and I produce live theatre shows.
I have seen an increase in my productivity on all fronts. Plus, I am now motivated to take a professional pivot and interview for a corporate project manager position. Onto the SCRUM course.

The course is very thorough and very relevant to beginners in the area like me. I recommend it 100% to management professionals from any area who are looking to gain a lot of insight in their daily practice as it gives us a theoretical understanding of how we are always applying PM skills and knowledge on a regular basis without even knowing that.

Highly enjoyable course! The instructor did a fantastic job, 10/10! I love how the course began with accountability by signing a document that you are going to finish the certificate. Also, checking off that you're ready is very motivating. The videos and readings are short and greatly informative, which keeps you engaged. Amazing job Google team!

Even though it's only an introduction to Project Management, the course is packed with relevant and comprehensive information on the topic. I appreciate that the discussions and speakers have always been giving practical examples, and even tips and guidance on how to transition to this career path. I'm looking forward to moving to the next course!

Very solid into course- well organized and presented. If you have been a PM for years, but never took a formal training course (like me) this will tell you a lot of stuff you already know, but that's not a bad thing! Especially good if you need a refresh or want to learn from scratch as well. Lots of advice for folks newer to the industry as well.

Very good course for setting a foundations for Project Management, just like the title says. I liked the instructor, the way he spoke is really good and of high quality, with nice pronunciation so I was able to listen even at a faster rate. This course really scratched a surface of the Project Management in a good way and I can't wait to continue.

I like the way the course is organized and keeps the learner engaged. I especially appreciate being able to read along with the video transcripts. A few unnecessarily tricky questions, but overall I feel that I have been able to connect with my past and current experiences and have learned a lot. Looking forward to the next courses in the series!

I found this course to be a very strong starting point in learning the fundamentals of project management. The topics were engaging and insightful. The additional resources were very informative. The speakers were both knowledgeable and articulate, while conveying their individual messages. I also enjoyed the readings and the discussion prompts.

Everything was very well laid out and the instructor/guests were great. Love the option to follow along with text at the bottom and highlight for notes.
Some technical issues. Some writing prompts gave me error messages when trying to submit, also had a glitch where text would copy and paste itself while I was typing and would not let me erase it.

Altogether a great first course with very detailed descriptions about project management. I was able to reinforce what I already knew and learn more about project methodologies and organizational culture. (Those were a couple of topics I thought were interesting). I had a fun time learning and look forward to participating in the upcoming courses.

So far the courses for the Google Project management professional certificate are great. Well put together and informative. The first course, foundations of project management has some good information and ideas and definately geared to someone just starting out. But still a good review and some good thought-provoking ideas for a seasoned PM.

Learning a Foundation gives you an idea on Project Management, and I learned so much to this course. I hope that I could finish all the Project Management Professional Certification offered by Google in order to advance my knowledge and to enable to enroll in a Six Sigma Course to international. Thank you Google and Coursera for this opportunity.

The course content is exceptional. I already feel like working on a Project as learning all about Project Management is a Project in itself. Cannot wait to go through the whole course and learn about Project Management in depth. The quizzes in each section helps a lot to know the progress of my learning. Thank you for creating an amazing Course.

Well thought out and professionally presented. Meaningful exercises.
Google admirably met the challenge of providing a 'survey' of Project Management while also preparing students with the 'pillars' or 'underpinning' of PM.
One can choose to slide through without engaging in the optional work, but if one does, they're just cheating themselves.
