Good course for those who wanted to understand techniques in Triple Constraint or Iron Triangle and to achieve PMP certificate. I especially like the explanation of finding Critical Path.

This course is very rich and practical oriented. Most pertinent project management tools were treated. Again, the assignment is very engaging with rich practical contents.

Presentations and videos are goods, but are too short and not developed enough to really acquired that knowledge.

The same problem appears with concept checks and quizzes, some subjects are not presented in this lecture but required to complete the course.

Peer reviews are quite subjective, the peers often do not stick to the rubric. I wish more tests or assignments graded by professionals.

The assessors are other students on the course. The course material is okay but its value is diminished by this reviewing process. Some students actually offer to swap 100% scores on the forums.

Poorly structured, incredibly boring (not because of the material, but because of the presentation), hard to follow and stay engaged with the content. Course instructors need to work on engagement and the presentation of the material as it is not very clearly laid out. The PowerPoint type animations used to present the info seems very outdated and there is too much going on with each "slide."
