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!

Great course. The Assignment helps to reinforce concepts taught.
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.

Thank You once again!
Great course to learn the theoretical applications on Engineering Project Management. I highly recommend this course. Thank you all for the immense support throughout the course.
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)
Course is good. However, certificate issued is mentioned as '...online non-credit course...' create confusion. Such words should not be included in certificate, rather such info (credit, non-credit etc.) should be on back-end. Just issue simple certificate that online course including assignments and exam is successfully completed by Mr. X which is offered by RICE University USA on Coursera. It does not make any sense to write that the course is credit, non-credit etc. I am not happy with certificate issued.
I am preparing for the PMI exam and this course does a fantastic job covering big concepts of the test.

Хороший и очень практически полезный курс, некоторые навыки пришлось интуитивно домысливать (лектор в видео излагает в усеченном виде, сильно помогает литература и благо она у меня есть), но сама тема и полученные знания очень ценны.
Большая просьба к организаторам - предоставлять литературу в объеме курса в доступ для ознакомления.
