This is a nice and simple introduction to the concepts and principles of project management. I feel that the instructor does a great job at introducing concepts and methodologies that you will be able to use in the moment, but will also expand upon in the later parts of the course.

The course is relevant. I apply the information learned to my every day work. While the discussion prompts, once answered, can be a bit difficult to naviagate due to the increasingly large amount of responses and users, the course itself is well taught, reinforced, and hands on.
