Great strategies for managing projects. They build a good way of thinking when it comes to structure and analyzing the project.

This course is very rich and practical oriented. Most pertinent project management tools were treated. Again, the assignment is very engaging with rich practical contents.

Poorly structured, incredibly boring (not because of the material, but because of the presentation), hard to follow and stay engaged with the content. Course instructors need to work on engagement and the presentation of the material as it is not very clearly laid out. The PowerPoint type animations used to present the info seems very outdated and there is too much going on with each "slide."
