The course is a nice introduction to those new to the field. However, if more examples are given through the way, and a good project is included in the course, I would have given it 5 stars.

Very informative and interesting. Lots of useful tools. What I liked in this course was that there were lots of examples given on how to act when something does not go as planned or if issues arrise.

Por se tratar de um curso básico, achei que atende bem ao que se propõe. Apenas acho que poderia haver um pouco mais de dinamismo nas aulas (slide mais dinâmicos), pois no final se torna cansativo.

Super overview of project management from start to finish and how to deliver successful project on time, on budget, and with desired quality along with ways to deal with technical and member issues a
The course is called "basics for success" and this is very basic indeed. The presenter uses a substantial amount of time merely reading the bullets on the "slides" and spends a lot of time elaborating on issues, which must be considered less relevant to the subject; in one example more than 8 minutes of a 14 min. video is spent on how Person 1 conveys a message to Person 2.
Overall, the course covers some interesting and relevant topics but the presentation hereof is subpar; it's a good thing I took this course in front of my PC and not in a classroom.
Its unorganized and fails to engage the user for long. I feel it can be taught in a much better way for such an interesting topic

The Project Management: The Basics for Success is indeed a very informative course especially for a starter and as a refresher course. The instructor, Rob Stone, PMP, M.Ed. delivered the course so perfectly! He is definitely a guru in the subject of Project Management. I liked his delivery: he met you where you are; and he is also likeable. His instruction felt like one-to-one and tailored to learners at different levels. I will definitely take another course with him! You can tell he teaches from his heart, and he was very prepared and the lessons flow was seamless. Thanks Rob Stone, PMP, M.Ed. for your dedication. The course is worth taking.
Excellent!!!

I would like to thank Prof. Rob Stone for providing me this opportunity to learn and do this course. Amazing tutor, really appreciate. And many thanks to University of California, Irvine for coming up with this amazing course and most importantly providing me financial aid where I was able to complete this course.
I enjoyed this course. I feel that it covered enough data correlated with this career path to provide for efficient and thorough project manager skills. I thought the videos were very researched and properly displayed. I also feel as though the curriculum was well researched and selected. Thank you for having me in this course

The course was awesome and very helpful too. Now I understand the basic principles and tools used for Project Management. Teaching was excellent. I would, however, like to give a suggestion: everyone should be able to attempt the quiz immediately. Why should we wait for 8 hours? And also why not keep a single attempt and then provide the answer key. To find the correct answer to a question, I need to wait for 8 hours and re-attempt the quiz. This wastes a lot of time. Either you provide a facility to keep on attempting the quiz any number of times you want and without any time delay. Or you keep a single attempt and then provide the answer key. Please follow either of these 2 options so that we don't have to waste our time in finding the correct answers to the quiz questions.
As a PMP, I am glad to recommend this course to all of the people who want to get an overview about the project management.
Based on the good experiences, the instructor provide almost of the important things on project management in the limit pages.
I learned more, thank you for your excellent work.
Best Wishes,
