This course was quite helpful. I work in a fast pace environment with multiple projects going at the same time. Planning the work, prioritizing and mapping progress was helpful. Thanks for the course.

The course is well-structured and offers valuable community interaction and practical exercises. However, outdated resource links diminish the overall value. Updating resources would enhance the learning experience.

The contect of some modules of this course is very light and the multichoice tests at the end insultingly easy. I would not pay for the certificate unless you need one per se.
I found that modules 1 and the communications part of module 3 were useful. However, the most valuable thing I got from the course was the link to the lecture by Mike Sanders on Advanced Multi-tasking.
The reference material referred to is very light - there are no reading lists and one link is to an out-of-date web page. Coursera may wish to review whether it continues offering this course.

Most of the course contents is highly trivial and not inspiring at all. It seems suitable for very repetitive jobs (most examples in the course deal with repetitive tasks instead of creative ones), but if you're an engineer or researcher, you probably won't learn anything new.
On the plus side it's short (maybe 2 hours total), and there is a chance you might try out one or two of the ideas.

The information is probably great, but the instructor speaks way too slowly in the videos and it's very difficult to listen to. I switched to reading it as a transcript but that generates as a .txt file which is also very difficult to read as it's not broken into paragraphs.

The instructor is wonderful, but the class is mostly common sense stuff and lot of filler for a class that is suppose to be about managing time efficiently. Would like to see more content or have it condensed into two weeks.

The course gives only the basic knowledge. It's a little bit waste of time. There was not so much interesting clues/tips. Youtube in video was more valuable than the whole course. I don't recommend it.

Very basic course, was able to complete all content in an hour. Didn't feel like I got any new information, or like any of the action items would actually help me improve my time management.

I'm glad I didn't pay for this course.
Nothing new, obviuos advice and basic information.
Nice instructor, with a clear pronunciation and interesting videos in Module 4.

This course is less informative and systematic than I expected. Although some time management tools are provided, the course is in general loose rather practical.

Very short course with a small amount of useful info, what might be useful are some templates to use in planning your worktime/daytime.

The course does not offer very useful material. The instructor speaks too slowly and it takes her a long time to explain simple ideas.

I expected more content. The course description says that there is material for 4-8 hours, however the videos are only one hour long.

A little bit tedious/monotonous course. It has some useful tips and tests for beginners in Personal Time Managment.

This is more like a one hour lecture than an actual course. I was hoping for more content.

Well explained videos, But very short course. Only 1 or 2 (short) videos per week!

The course can be considered more a talk than a course. It gives basic ideas but does not go in detail and force to work on them. Some lectures given are just simply poor power points with the basic ideas but not contributing to expand the lesson. Links to other videos from other courses seems a joke

It seems that they payed minimum efforts to build this course. Video quality is disturbing, reading tasks are simply links to the presentations shown in the videos, futhermore they are not correctly formatted. Totally not recommended

Vidoe Lectures were almost nill, no tutor. Course content was also not well worked out. Overall disappointed that i put so much effort but it was not worth.

This course seems kind of pointless. I finished the 4 weeks in 1.5 hours and the material did not provide any value to me.

For an online course it is quiet bad. Mostly reading, few videos, not many topics covered. A book is better.

Very basic and trivial information that can be easily summarized in an article. Not need for a whole course.

The course is kinda short. I want more real work scenario examples. Role playing is much better I think.
