The course was well organized, very well thought out, and a good combination of videos, reading and hands on. I think it touched on quite a few great foundational topics that will set the stage for more in depth responsibilities that go with being a PM.

I enjoyed learning things in this course, as it shined a light on some of the things, I have done, but never knew that they were part of the fundation of being a project manager. I learn also a number of things I did not know. It was very enjoyable.

It really covers everything there is in project management, from agile to gathering data. I happen to be learning this in conjunction with data analysis and SQL, and the interconnected nature of project management and data analysis is really present.
