This is the fourth course in the Google Project Management Certificate program. This course will delve into the execution and closing phases of the project life cycle. You will learn what aspects of a project to track and how to track them. You will also learn how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. As you explore quality management, you will learn how to measure customer satisfaction and implement continuous improvement and process improvement techniques. Next, you will examine how to prioritize data, how to use data to inform your decision-making, and how to effectively present that data.

Was unnecessarily long with too much story telling included instead of getting to and discussing the main points.

1. 1-5 courses where is mostly water - you have to squeeze it very well to identify a piece of meaningful information. Very diluted, like women soap romance book. 2. No quality control. No real teachers are available in this course - considering it as a shame! I never heard that students are forced to grade each other in any reputable educational institution! That annihilate any educational purpose. Where has this been seen in any reputable educational institution? You can only imagine the content of those tests! There are mostly "Help me through" with no tests at all. Some people simply copy the given material and present it for "peer grading", hope that other people will give them "pass". And they will succeed. Shame, nowhere only here, in Coursera you can observe this pattern. 3. Certificate. Guess what, you have to jeopardize and put your identity in danger by providing your complete identity info to some Persona and let this Persona to use all your personal info for 3 years at their full discretion! It's maybe sold, stolen hacked etc. All those risks for what? For getting some certificate from organization with a dubious reputation where is no teachers and students are generously grading each other? Coursera should be upfront about that condition and about all those non-functioning trimmed educational system. Conclusion: Coursera and all companies presented here by Coursera don't really care about education quality and quality personnel, so the purpose is simply clipping monthly money. Sad. It's very sad only.

This part of the course was very disappointing to me. It was boring, I feel I learned nothing, it actually made me confused by the whole concept and everything I've learned here so far.

I really missed the readings after the videos: In the previous courses there was a reading after every single video, so I could just watch and listen to the videos, then take notes using the readings. In this course I had to continuously stop the video, rewind, and take notes, it was very frustrating.

I am more surprised by the lack of readings because this course even mentions that there are three kinds of people when it comes to learning something, somebody learns after hearing, some after reading, some by practicing, and I liked the previous courses because they offered 3 of them with redundancy. So after I heard, read, and practiced the same thing I felt I understood and learned it. Now I feel I'll forget all of these I heard here. I've taken notes but still, I feel disappointed and a waste of time and money after this course.

The previous courses were pretty awesome, especially the first 2.

I still think the language of the quiz questions is too difficult for non-native speakers.

The presenter is enthusiastic and energetic, and there was good information. But the extreme infuxuation in her voice went from what sounded like shouting to inaudible whispers. I noticed it most in the first 3 weeks of this course. The first word would be really really loud and certain points she would make would be similarly loud, and the end of the sentence would trail off to low inaudible volumes. This was a difficult listening experience because in order to hear the quiet parts of the voice, I had to turn the volume loud enough that the louder parts of the speech pattern were a shock to my system. I listen to the videos on my communite, so visually following the transcript is not an option. This was the case for all the speakers in the first three weeks, and not so much the latter 3. It was distracting from the material, and made concentration nearly impossible. Thank you for considering this issue.

Because of improper atention or lack of interest a peer which reviewed my task gave 0 points stating he couldnt find my uploded tasks. However this was untrue as the other reviewer had graded the tasks and given the correct points. Thie peer review sistem has its merits and can be productive but when faced with reviewers who cant even take a minute to find the atached file to grade the task the whole premise of peer review is lost. Find a beter way to implement this peer review sistem if it will stay in the course. Furthermore this course so far has contained the most amount of padding, repetiotion, and in my opinion overcomplication of simple concepts. You dont need to complicate simple conecpts to explain them, the simpler something explained the better it to understand it.

The content was good but it was very hard to understand what the speaker is saying. She didn't have natural pauses between the words. It was a big problem for me as I had to read the subtitles which took a lot of time. I don't recommend that course due to this issue.

Knowing doesn't mean the ability to give it to someone else. The first part of the class went smoothly, but then it became tough to follow. The instructor should have ideas or examples to illustrate and explain the class to make it easy for the students. Thanks
