I liked the presenter - strong voice and has the work experience too. Good flow of modules that reinforce your learning step by step. Good use of interactivity to reinforce learning with some short quizzes, a few discussions, and some gameified learning tasks. I have previous practical experience managing group projects at my university, but never received any formal training/class that taught me formal methodologies and best practices. I enjoyed this course, given my prior experience as I made connections of my past experience with the methods/terms/studies presented in this course.

I wasn't sure about the assessment, but its actually alright. I think reliance on MCQs is overrated, so the other types of questions were appreciated, especially the different plug-ins. Discussion is alright, but having more directions about engaging with others would be helpful. Content itself is general, and easily understood. I'd say anyone with a good grasp of English could follow, and anyone who has ever done any role relating to project managment, which is everyone - would find this useful still. It helps put names to ideas we've had, and shows us now ideas too. Thank you.

This was a wonderful course. I enjoyed the overall formatting of the course with equal parts videos, readings and quizzes I could do on my laptop and phone via the app. All the topics were very interesting. It was great to hear the real world/Google experiences of actual Project Managers and see how excited they are about where they work and what they do.

I will continue and complete the certification and I hope to change my career into a meaningful and enjoyable career. I also hope to be able to find a mentor and mentor others in the near future as a Project Manager. Thank you!

The project management course covered essential skills, roles, and career paths for project managers. It also provided insights into project lifecycles and different approaches to managing projects. While some concepts were familiar, others were entirely new and insightful. The critical role of project governance and change management was also highlighted, which impacts project success. The course content helped me to identify project management responsibilities that appeal more to me than others. Overall, the course has been an informative and engaging learning experience.

I enjoyed the mixed methods in learning, which greatly improves distance learning away from just reading content. I also like learning checks and quizzes, with references to follow up on for wrong answers. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about is the lack of student discussions and collaboration. Student responses are optional and it seems students don't interact or respond when you reply to their responses. I think there's a missed opportunity here. I was reviewed and graded on my interation with other students for my BA and MA, which were both distance learning courses.

I am so impressed with various styles used in passing on the course content; It was fun and engaging. Completing this course gave me great insight on understanding the core roles, responsibilities, skills and values a project manager brings to the team for successful project delivery. This course equipped me with the different project management approaches with which to effectively deliver various project of varied nature and requirements. Also learning of organizational structure and culture gives that edge to easily align with team and stakeholders for project success.

Although I had learnt these topics in school, it has been a long time since those lessons. This course helped me to reflect on the projects I have taken on in these past 6 years and the factors that made them a success (or failure). I am currently in a transitional part of life, having left my first professional job, and eager to apply my efforts in a broader range of work. I enjoyed the learning experience, and look forward to completing more modules. Thank you Googlers for your contributions in creating and maintaining this course. I appreciate the choices you made.

I am really enjoying the course Foundations of Project Management. The instructors are very clear and concise and the different forms of presenting the information (videos, readings, interactive videos) make learning fun. This class gives an overview of Project Management including transferrable skills you may already have, project management roles, project management methodologies, organizational culture and more. I highly recommend the class and am looking forward the next five courses in the Project Management Certificate program. Thanks, Coursera and Google!

The course was a good overview of project management concepts. Efficient use of learning time. Effective resources/readings. The quizzes were intuitive and matched the content.

Application-wise, the assignments where you write your own thoughts were effective, though I noticed not all students gave detailed answers. Take advantage of every assignment and you'll get a good learning experience.

A little over 3 hours for each week and there are 4 weeks in total (for me it took 1 week). About 15 hours in total including job searching as part of a couple of the exercises.

This course was great. I loved the content, although in the first 2 weeks there were repeated information but in general it was JUST WHAT I NEEDED to manage the project I was working on.

The amount of content was just right. There were videos where google employees spoke about project management which were one of my favourite parts, it was a good break.

The quizzes were perfect and I love the correcting criteria.

I totally recommend it. You will have so much fun learning.

I am so excited to start course 2 of the program.

The Foundations of Project Management course by Google provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental skills, roles, and career paths in project management. The course covers various aspects of project management, such as the project lifecycle, different approaches to managing projects (e.g., Agile, Waterfall), stakeholder management, risk identification and mitigation, and the importance of understanding organizational culture and structure.

Excellent course. Really enjoyed the content from start to finish. I initially had thought it would take me about three weeks to finish as I'm doing two other certificate programs as well plus working as a freelancer and studying for graduate school exams but I ended up finishing it in only a week as the material was so enjoyable I decided to put aside more time and finish it a lot quicker. Looking forward to course two and beyond!

I managed to complete this in about a week. The class structure is very well thought out and I love how it is. There are short videos along with short reading lessons. The quizzes are also short. I find it works best, for me, to take about a week's worth of courses a day. Any more than that and I start losing focus and start failing the quizzes, so don't overdo yourself. The instructor and guests are amazing. Great job!

Exceptionally desifgned and delivered program that open doors to possibilities in project management. Difficulty level phases are well designed and concepts are well scaffolded as they gradually allowed the learner to experience progressive learning.

An opportunity for improvement exists at times, in how questions are structured and anwers are articulated.Overall - excellent and highly recommend for beginners to PM

Overall, the intro is well balanced and informative. I feel like I have the required knowledge to proceed to course #2. My only criticism would be that some of the test questions were worded poorly, in that it was difficult to understand the question. It would be awesome if there was a way to click on the question for an alternative wording or a more in depth explanation. Thank you so much for these courses!

This course has been a rush for me. I've loved every minute of it, and I've learned so much! I started this journey with almost no knowlege about project management, neither I knew if it would be of any interest for me. Now I find myself ansious to keep going and learn more! The course is impecable, the teachers are amazing, it's full of useful infographics and the challenges are fun! Totally recomended!

The course is informative, easy to navigate, the videos and the real-stories are a pleasure to watch. The quizzes helped review what part of the material should be re-watched or read again. Discussion forums help connect with other people and read insights from others. The glossary comes in handy as well for definitions. Thanks a lot for all the hard work that was put behind building this amazing course!

Easy to understand, but packed with really valuable information, especially if you have any background in management. As an outsource manager, I've been looking for ways to broaden my professional horizons, and project management correlates nicely with outsource management. So far, I have began to piece together the overlap of these 2 career paths, and I'm excited to learn more and apply this knowledge.

This journey into Learning Project Management through Google has been such a wonderful and beginner friendly introduction! It's facisinating to be able to relate and implement my own experiences into what I am learning with my experiences with my current company, and I loved the stories and the diverse background of the Googlers that gave their time to talking to us in the course. See you in Course 2!

Very comprehensively designed course. The content was good. Materials presented were systematic and organized to retain one's attention and interest. Transition from one section to another was also very smooth; overall layout of the modules and presentation was catchy. Had my interest throughout!

Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

Great course. Gives you A LOT of information (none of which was unnecessary). I'm really glad I decided to take this course.

This course is making me more confident for applying new roles that lead to field of project management

This course perfectly covers the main ingredients that helps make a PM successful in his field.

Very thoughtful course really appriciated for the great information.
