These are too old videos, illustrated tables are in low quality. Methods that used to explain the topic is not good enough. There is no logical tie between videos. Tutor speaks not clearly. It's like he are just in market and don't care about it, too. Wikipedia or AI is best if you are keen to read. Advice: you can you AI coach instead of listening this videos. AI coach will summarize what you need in clear way, without taking your time.

Instructor seems uninterested or bored. Sometimes he only reads the slides without adding anything else to the content. Others, he goes quickly through a slide without any time to digest the information. Overall, intro level concepts are ok, but specifics about creation or handling of tools is left without deeper explanation

Well, i don't like this course because all PM knowledge was put in very short time period (videos+slides). As a professional project manager I hope that this track evaluate to more detailed. But, despite the course program, my respect to Rob, I like him and his manner to deliver ideas & knowledge share.

Though the coverage includes all basic project management tools, the lecturer lacks energy and planning. most of the videos are either just reading out what is in the slide or long stories that hardly drive the point home. I think it should be more interactive with relevant examples.

Learned very little. Doesn't actually teach anything, but gives some tips by talking, the stuff that you can find by using google and clicking on the first link that appears. Some material gets repeated throughout the course. Quizzes are a joke really.

Impossible to navigate to the course material. Took my payment but insists on another payment before it will let me submit an assignment. Very frustrating. I am about to request a refund.

Though the professor is a wealth of knowledge, this doesn't cater to various learners. I feel like I'm at a lecture with very little variety to keep me engaged. I wouldn't recommend it.

It's a shame that almost all courses are to be paid for nowadays. For one, I am not paying for it, many will follow...

The course is too long. The videos are too slow and could be reduced to a couple of slides each.
