Great basics. Some link or reading referencing Earned Value Management would be great. However, incredible value here just like all the courses before it in the series. Way to go Google!

This was quite an insightful chapter. The resource personnel was clear and was able to educate me and pique my interest to study more. Well done and thanks so much for putting this together

The content was fine. I completed all 6 courses of the 6-course series over several months, with averages well into the mid 90s or better. At the very last segment where I should have received a full completion certificate, I was redirected back to the fifth course and my progress from the past few months was erased. I have copies of my course tests, quizzes, and activities to show that I completed both courses 5 and 6. I should get credit for them.

Too much theory that will be easily forgotten. The important concepts have not been worked correctly in the practical exercises. Outdated and unhelpful teaching method. Very disappointing.

They don't give you the professional certification promised when you complete the courses. Don't bother. These courses will do nothing to advance your career or education.
