I enjoyed this course, the mix of the video presentations and the powerpoints are well done. The instructor does an excellent job. the 'bonus videos' and 'panelist interviews' are very good as well.

It was a bit difficult for me. Theory was a breeze but the mathematical aspect was a little hard, but I'll grasp it with a little more practice I guess. :)

I would recommend to add video sample of creating for example construction project from the scratch, to show connections, critical paths, predecessors etc.

The subject gets appropriately harder in this part of the specialization, but the problems with certain parts seeming to have been rushed persists.

I think this was really concise and packed with great information, but there was less of a focus on budgeting than I would have liked.
