This course was quite helpful. I work in a fast pace environment with multiple projects going at the same time. Planning the work, prioritizing and mapping progress was helpful. Thanks for the course.

Excelente, parece un tema muy sencillo pero la verdad cuando te empiezan a explicar lo sencillo que puede ser mejorar la productividad uno cae en cuenta de que había estado malgastando mucho su tiempo

Informative light hearted class. Great for those starting their understanding of time management. A follow up course would be a nice segue into deeper time management concepts. Thanks

I think it was useful to know simple techniques in order to be more productive, is an easy course. I would have added more exercises relating to prioritizing, and/or questions about it

Me ubiesen gustado más ejemplos y prácticas, pero en sí el curso cumple su función ya que de una manera general se aprende a planear más eficientemente el tiempo vs las actividades.

Very basic, the course is not really going into deep with the topics, however it is all very clear and understandable and I really liked the course resources and real life examples.

Good, multitasking is not the same with multiple assignment. Try to focusing on one task at once, and if you do not have choice, work on no more than three things at a time for ma

Instruction videos were short and to the point, and modules did not take long to complete. I would appreciate more in-video review questions and supplemental articles, however.

Good curse. The issue is that it was way way too short, and I felt its content is the equivalent of a week, and that more could be said about it. Again, otherwise, good course.

The additional resources provided add that extra edge to your learning from this course and the provision of slides recapitulating what the videos covered is a great support.

This is a great introductory course on productivity. It is also a good 'refresher' on the basics for those who have forgotten what they learned earlier in the careers. ;-)

Very good tools to use for time management. My favorite lesson is where the facilitator stated we teach people how to treat us i.e. answering emails at 2am. It can wait.

Definitely a great course to let me know where is the problem. Sometimes problem doesn't lies on yourself but your employer. Do stand up for yourself and not get abuse.
