Very informative. Did not realize there was more in order to get the certificate. Need to be more transparent with the actual course agenda and allow for a less controlled way to get thru the courses.

Very good, reflexive and simple to understand and apply. I'm from Brazil, so i had a little dificulty with the lack of portuguese subtitles. If Coursera needs a Portuguese translator i'm more than happy to do it!

This is the first of a 6-course series in Project Management. I found it to be extremely helpful (though the course plan was a little unclear until I completed this one). And I will be taking additional courses.

I'm not a native english speaker, but from this course, I understood what project management is and what is expected from a project manager. The lecturer masters the subject and uses a strong learning approach.
