Great course!

Really good course especially for engineers new to the field of project management and handling. I appreciate the hard work that has been done to put this course together.

Thank You once again!

Great course. The Assignment helps to reinforce concepts taught.

Nicely designed and executed. Loved it.

The topic and the presentation is very good.

One star less because of questions/answers which are not part of the lecture.

One star less because of the rating for the assignment does not fully match (i.e. estimation: compare to the WBS and Gantt Chart but both will not be available / not be uploaded)

The proposed template has different fields from the rubric, so basically it's not a template.

Don't follow it if you want to pass the assignment because if don't, there will not be anyone to correct your assignment again.

Easy to follow and clear to understand

the course is good

A basic course for beginners. At least you can learn new things.

Hands-on real-life experience because you produce all of the work products for a project. It's a very thorough well done, professionally produced series of courses!
