The contents are very very good, very interesting and usefully. Also the instructors know the subjects very well, and they show that, that is an extra motivation for us to be open to learn from them.

In addition to the videos and optional book reading material, there are practical projects provided to help re-enforce the learning objectives. The only reason I didn't give a 5/5 is because some of the student peer reviewers don't understand how to read the rubric and may give inappropriate grading.

Pay attention to what the instructors say, no need to jot down everything displayed in the slides. Also, to best utilize the course do make an attempt to do assignments yourself. Follow the rubric document to identify what to fill in assignment.

Very good information, techniques and tools mentioned for all the topics (Risk, Quality, Teams, and Procurement) but a little too basic. Of the 3 courses from this specialization I think this was the more basic and short.

Presentations and videos are good. This one is a little shorter than the 2 other courses but it is a good finish to practice our PM skills.

Not as good as the other two courses in the specialization. Less assignments and shorter/briefer videos. Nevertheless a good course.
