Very well structured and easy to understand. Many thanks to the Instrutors, they really communicate clear and become easy to learn. The budget and procurement process become more easy, that really is. We have the clear idea of how to map out a project in the planning phase.

An incredibly well-designed course! The teacher is knowledgeable, covers every aspect of the proposed programme and makes you want to see what is in the next module. I also strongly recommend this module because it deals with the communication plan, a susceptible PM area.

Great course on how to start putting all the initial plans together for a good start. There are many things here that one can learn. So many documents or artifacts to create. Ideal for anyone that has very little to no experience in what a true Project Manager should do.

It was a very cool course. I don't know where to start, but there was a tremendous amount of information and it changed my perspective dramatically. If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would put 100 stars.

All the love for Google and Coursera

Personally I enjoyed it and it was pretty good and informative, but compared to the first two courses it was like a big jump in like difficulty, it had more graded content and longer modules and videos than anticipated. Still it was a nice learning experience.

A small fraction of my peers were a little harsh on the peer exercises. For instance, one of my colleagues said that my project summary was less than desirable. His tone was offensive and the comment was not helpful. He did not mention what needed improvement.

Learnt a lot. Learnt to see & think differently. An eye-opening in many aspects. All the instructors are good but, Instructor Rowena is exceptionally good. She kept my full attention 100%. Hope to see more of her videos.

Thank you very much.

The course is always laid out perfectly and the content completely understandable. However, individuals mark peer graded assignments incorrectly which is unfair to the people who are paying as well as dedicating their time to do these assignments.

Fantastic course and a great instructor The quizes, documentations and working sheets were on point and the Glossary terms to download at the end of the course is just what was needed to complement the course. I wish if all courses have the same.
