This was a great entrance into product management! Very good structure and well thought out. I liked the mix between videos, real world expert field feedback, and exercises.

GOOD

A brief introduction to product management and the nature of the work setting. The ungraded assignments don't provide answers, and we are left with the case scenario. It would have been better if answers were provided so that we could verify and correlate our answers. Apart from that the course is good, and gives a foundation on the topic and the industry expert's insights.

The course is so good and effective but the problem is we are doing lab work with efforts, there is no one to see. At-least correct this with our peers like they are doing in business English communication skills by University of Washington.

It does what it says on the title, but it is quite introductory and I feel it's a bit outdated. Maybe because my experience is mainly in Agile methodologies I find the waterfall method quite outdated for software development.

Sometimes the experts don't bring any value. The quizzes contains dummy answers. Overall it is a good course to structure your knowledge.

Its a solid introduction, but there is a big gap oin validating your learnings. The graded tasks are frankly too easy, with most questions being too obvious. The more workshop based tasks are great, but they really need a video/more material to walk you through the right answers/approach - I have nothing to compare my work to.

There is an element missing from this course. You still need constructive feedback from an instructor to hone in on the points being made by the module and the ambiguity that arise while taking the course.

This is a very light introduction, skimming the surface of PdM.

To many repeated information. The question and answers were not challenging. Sometimes the choices were too unrelated that you don't need to watch the videos to pass the exam. I was expecting the course to of Master's program level. Live Carnegie Mellon Product Management program. If you are advising people to get certified from AIPMM, what is the purpose of this course. People started this course to get certified after completion of this course. Is this course not professional enough to be recognized or trusted by others? I felt sometimes, the experts themselves weren't answering the questions properly, they were just saying something or same thing repeatedly. Are all the Coursera courses like this? Noncompetitive and non-challenging and easy bar for anyone to come and get certificate? Looks like Coursera needs a better Product Manager to improve their product.

I believe this class is pretty basic and not challenging. I haven't learned a major concept or anything that will make me a good product manager. I get that it is an intro class, but I could have spared myself some time here.

Redundant points were made by the professionals. The exams asked multiple of the same questions with easy multiple-choice answers.
