You have to pay for your certificate after completing the course, which makes it completely worthless on your CV or personal statement unless you're willing to pay to prove you completed it.

This course has been beneficial in project management, procurement, and international relations. I encourage everyone to take this course, as it is valuable across all program sectors.

IT WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL ESPECIALLY AS A BEGIINER WHO WANTS TO MAKE A CAREER SWITCH.

The delivery style is very chalk and talk, coupled with the need to download files from other students (submitted assessments). In the modern age, there is no mention of how, or if, files are scanned by Coursera for embedded viruses and threats to user machines. This looked like it was going to be a good course, but without clarity to the above I am not going to complete the assessments so have not completed it - which is a shame.

One of driest online course I've taken, essentially just reading off a teleprompter, feels like attending a 7am calculus class with a professor speaks in mono tone with zero emotion.

It was a very good course for beginner level for project management. Got to know about some basics of PMI standard tools, techniques and methodologies. Definitely helped me a lot.

This course was packed with content, and all of it was helpful to know about. I would have liked more real-world examples of these things in action, and not just from reviewing peers' work, as I can't know how accurate those all are. But, it was worth it, and I would recommend this course to someone who needed to brush up on the basics and key terms of Project Management.

It's a person speaking to a camera. The course can be more interactive!
