Most of the time I am unable to manage the time due to involvement in the non-productive works. This Course has given me to define urgent and important work in personal and professional work.

I liked the course, however I'd like to give some feedback that might be useful to you:

I was surprised a bit how short the course is. When I read this "4-8 hours of videos, readings, and quizzes" I thought that there will be 4-8 hours of videos _besides_ readings and quizzes. So this one is a bit misleading.

Despite of this I liked the course. It gave me a lot of tricks and tips. However I don't understand the final 96.4% either. Maybe I missed something because after the last assignment the result has gone away in less then 1 second. As far as I know all my assignments were 100%.

The design of the videos is a bit "spartan" :) I finished a couple of other Coursera courses (HCI, Gamification etc.) where the videos were much more delightful. This white background, black text is very disappointing.

Anyway: Thanks!
