It was very helpful for me to understand what the project management is. I am just thinking about starting this new career path and i was feeling comfortable in this field during the learning process.

There does tend to feel like a big chunk of reading material but its not death by power point, the videos are good however the American PM gentleman at end bursts the bubble a little with his 'are you sure you want to be a PM' mentality, yes of course otherwise I would not be investing my time.

The course level was high with very detailed explanations in project terminology. The only one that could change in my opinion is that, at the bonus videos could be presented professionals with certain problems or situations that were encountered in their workplace and what actions they took.

Good, relevant information. My only reservation is the structure — the same phases are often revisited since the course arranged according to bodies of knowledge within the PMBOK. Wouldn't it make more sense to walk through the project from start to finish, i.e. using time as the main axis?

Learning was relevant to any project and put forward in a concise manner. The teachers used real life project management experiences to emphasize concepts and principles. I especially enjoyed the panel discussion with experienced project managers where they talked about their experiences.

Really enjoyed this class. I am a very detailed note taker and there were a couple of instances that the information provided didn't match the quiz answers; i.e. The Triple Constraint. Overall this is very convenient, good layout and I enjoyed the professor. Ready for my next class!

Very nice course for PM starter, the ways and tricks presented in this course really gives you the tools required to start your project management learning journey.
Great thanks to the tutor Ms. Margaret Meloni and defiantly to Coursera for giving me such nice opportunity for leaning.

Thank you Margaret for this course. It was great and I really enjoyed it. What I would maybe add as a point is the length of the video materials (longer), additionally, it would be great to have more videos included but still keep reading as backup information or refresh.

Although I had already some experience with project management I still learned a lot in this course. It really broke for me certain ambiguity I had from the theoretical education compared to the real work experience and my personal identification with the role of a project manager.

This was a great course, and I espesially liked the last bonus video. The creaters have grosely underestimateed how much time you are going to use on week 4 though (about scoping). For those of us who does these courses in our work time, that makes it really hard to plan the day.

This course helped me in properly organizing a project even though I am not on a managerial position. As a staff, I feel empowered to suggest (as an application of this course) on how our organization can be efficient, organized and effective in terms of delivering services.

Almost perfect. It would be perfect if more practical examples, as well as more tests (some of them were repetitive), will be added. Besides, open-end and/or case-solving questions, if added, would make learning and assessment during the course better. Thanks for the course.

this is a useful course, the only thing that is very upset is the lack of ability to translate text materials using Google Translate or other means, although the text can not be copied, which means that to master the course if you are not a native speaker is very difficult

It is a very good course who want to know about project management skills.
It is introductory do not expect to learn many things. The course is very easy and introductory level.
Before deciding a career or paid course doing this course can help in your decision making.

Overall, the course is enriching laying a good fundamental understanding of project management. Somewhere could be improved;
1) Provide a visual mapping understanding of the deliverables and the WBS.
2) Deliver the flash lesson to be in a form of lecture delivery.

The course is very flexible and easy to understand. The instructor was amazing, but she should have contributed more to the course. The lessons are helpful, but the instructor excluded most of the topics from her lectures. The quizzes were easy but thoughtful.

Very good high-level intro to PMBOK-based project management. The UC Irvine classes are not particularly demanding, and won't by themselves prepare you to take the PMP exam, but they will give you a decent grounding in the terminology and principles involved.

I thought this was an excellent overview of project management. It didn't overwhelm with all the nuts and bolts of how to do this, but instead gave a general idea of what needs to be considered. I've already started using some of the tools presented at work.

This course is very engaging and informative. I have learned a lot. The video lectures are so good it retains in your memory easily. One thing I would like to be improved is the difficulty of the quizzes. Overall this is a recommended course for beginners.

It was very interesting to watch videos, I think they are very well-made. Though, it was a little bit boring to read "Flash lessons" and they took me much longer than indicated 10 min. In general, I am happy with the course, I learned a lot, THANK YOU!

Excellent introduction to Project Management. This course give definition to the field and provides foundational context for any level of practice. I especially appreciate the clean visual presentations and valuable bonuses provided by UCIrvine.

This course really covers the basics and the videos help organize and summarize a lot of the information. The readings and slides help provide even more information and they guide you to sites and other readings to learn even more on your own.

The lectures of the course are concise and well thought out. The provided text gives a lot of detail and examples of the concepts. The real-world practice sections could really use some work, but otherwise, I really enjoyed this first Course.

Have enjoyed the lessons from the Professor so much .. readings appear less attractive compared to the sessions of hers. Would like to see more lessons and less readings. Could relate all the contents to real life projects and situations.

The course was so easy to understand and the way it was taught was smoothing.
Audio frequency needs to be little more audible.
The quiz were so relevant to the questions studied under the course.
Thanks for this Course and this Opportunity.

The Course is good for a beginner as it is easy to understand. The final test should be a little difficult. If possible the videos could be more elaborate.
Instead of slides, Videos could be added to make it more interactive to learn
