By Mohammed A
•Despite of the course being insightful, it is not prepared well. The material is not equally divided per week. Also, lecture slides do not cover everything the lecturer mentions. This makes it a bit difficult to study for the quizzes and to be able to answer quiz questions.
By David T B R
•All in all it's not abad overview of project management. I happen to have already been certified by PMI as PMP so some of the sections were very light. In particular Schedule & Estimating, which are so critical to project success, could've been looked at more in depth.
By Enio B
•Curso interessante, especialmente ao apresentar a estrutura de registro, terminologia técnica e organização profissional de projetos. A didática poderia ser mais interativa (quizzes, referências externas, exemplificação através de cases e course assignments).
By Bolun Z
•The information is quite useful, but they are not provided in an organised way. Sometimes, I got confused because of overlapping materials. However, in general, it's a good course to have an overview and some useful tools of project management.

•Subject is very attractive but i found low voice quality, Presentation and information was not up to the mark. Also found difficulty to catch the words since speaking speed too fast.
Despite of this course is very helpful. thanks to coursera

•Prof Rob Stone is a very good speaker and has made the videos very informative.
The content is very small, which is good because it makes the course very lean, but bad because it merely scratches the surface of project management world.
By Olga D M M
•It's a good course to have the basics over project management. However, some tools might be a bit outdated. There are new tools for project management (i.e. Slack) that facilitate the creation of schedules, delegation of tasks, etc.
By Nazmul H
•Excellent crash course to learn the Basics of Project Management. However, the reference materials of this course are taken from PMBOK 5th edition and should be modified according to PMBOK 6th edition.
By Michael D
•Well structured and informative. Needs more in depth treatment of each section, additional materials( additional suggested reading would be nice), and more excitement from the professor. Thank
By Victor B G
•I think the course must be updated because it's a little lit boring and the professor sometimes is just reading the ppts, but as very basic for proejct management, it was good.
By Анастасия Т
•Would enjoy more practice, maybe peer-reviewed tasks to make Gantt charts or complicated network diagrams; More real - life examples from companies would work out too.
By davidicus
•solid basics overview. good audio, occasional diagram. no fluff. concrete examples.
somewhat short. no quiz grading, and that really limits learning effectiveness.
By Dustin R
•Information was good, a bit dry at points and the presenter didn't seem that enthused to be presenting. Overall decent course on an important and relevant topic.
By Masud K
•Pretty Simple stuff - but would've been better if there was actually something we worked on in a group, or an actual project to 'plan' or gantt chart to create.
By Chan S L
•Thank you for the lecturer, Rob, to prepare that great course on coursera platform for us to learn those knowledge in effective way. Thank you very much again.
By Amanda S B H A
•The course is good, meets the expectations of the basics of project management, but I found the course very theoretical, I would like more tips from real life
By Jimmy L
•A very basic overview of project management. The presenter follows the slides very closely but doesn't do much to engage the student in thoughtful exercises.
By maged n
•It was full of so much valuable information but no practice at all that's why I couldn't understand everything of it but thank you really for that effort
By Bruno F
•El contenido no fue lo que esperaba por el precio pagado y la forma de evaluar del curso promueve el memorizar conceptos en lugar de comprenderlos
By Amjad B A S
•it was pretty cool thanks so much,
but you should improve it by explaining which is better tools it can help us
and you should focus on a practice
By Melanie M
•I would like to see the content spread more evenly over the 4 modules. The fourth module is as long if not longer than the first 3 modules.
By Simon C
•Course was informative and a useful refresher but could have done with more worked examples in the tracking area specifically around value.
By Iga T
•It is good, very basic course giving the overview of the most important subjects in project management. Good as a starting point.
By Rendani
•I would have like it if they could provide free graded assessment to non-certificate students; and make option for certification
By Priya
•It is very high level course which will just cover bullet points. Details and elaborated explanation would have been excellent.
