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.

The course is very light and not serious, in my opinion. Yes, it gives you the main idea of time-management, but I wish I received more practical tools or systems that work and eases the whole process of work. Hence, I think that 1 star is a fair enough evaluation for this course.

I enrolled as an audit student through a back-to-work program. According to the agency, the course was supposed to be free, but now I am not able to complete the course without paying money to take some of the quizzes. Total misrepresentation!

i think this cousre cannot help you really manage time and work smart all you need to have is some experience in their particular field only then the above mentioned purpose of the course can be achieved.

I do not recommend you to waste your time. Planned course activities for a week - just 13 minute speech of the lecturer, telling absolutely banal things and a few questions. Absolutely useless.

Very simplistic concepts and tactics which are already known to most of us who have been working for a while. It might be useful for somebody who is just starting to work.

Not much useful and interesting time management techniques reviewed. Easier to look up in internet. Need to upgrade this course with more modern techniques.

Very poor course. Not at all academically rigorous. Just a bunch of common sense statements. Instructor's presentation style borders on condescending.

Unfortunatelly I did not get anything from this course. The course was based on a few obvious tips you get from any self-help or management book.

Really bad video quality, content was not very compelling. I didn't take a lot of notes as most of this was pretty general info.

This course would be much better if there was some actual substantive content. This course was not worth 35$.
