I'm giving it a five star because it taught me a lot about project management; starting from budgeting to risk management to effective communication skills. It was a whole lot but it worth it!

The information is presented in a way that makes it easy to retain. The practice exercises reinforce the learning. My only suggestion is to allow learners to make .pdf copies of the readings.
