case studies
Further, it also provides different case studies for reference.
Case studies could be improved, starting from the quality of videos and contents.
To get a better grasp on the material or be more decisive in the application of the tools, it would be wise to do the case studies wholeheartedly.
Currently working on a large project i had lots of take-a-ways from this and used them Really great synopsis on Project Management, it was good as case studies were also included and helped understand the concepts.
The case studies were interesting and relevant.
Some intro case studies were helpful!
The lectures, case studies, and quizzes were practical and thought-provoking as well!
I found the supplemental case studies to be extremely beneficial.
While the content of the course was good, an area of improvement would be in the execution of the case studies.
Case studies were present in every section of the course and I tried to make the best of it.
The instructor is teaching very well.With interesting examples and case studies, we understand the concept very easily.
The methodologies are properly described with case studies, that really help to garner our understanding more deeply.Will be looking for more detailed course on agile and scrum.

ms project
Excellent course, presented in an easy English for non-native English speakers, with concrete examples and hands-on MS Projects demo.
Enjoyed this course, Nice that it included many topics I didn't expect such as review on MS Project and Agile/Scrum.
GOOD ONE i like how the course covers metrics to track project tracking and how lecturer walks you over how to do plan projects in MS project.
I especially like the practical supplementary lectures on MS Project and Excel.
Pros:Basics were explained well.A good kick start for beginners who are travelling towards learning Project planning and management.Cons:Wish we had assignments to practice MS Project to a certain extent.Some of the Quiz questions were confusing (Esp.
As the most of students who live in developing countries will not able to get project management software like Ms Project.
Especially liked the part of showing students how to use MS Project, this is something I haven't seen before in other courses.
The extra materials related to MS Project were incredibly helpful, as the study cases, which provided us a real perception of the application of the method.

But this course is highly recommended if you're new to the area, this just gives you the overall idea nothing in-depth, as the name suggests.
Highly recommended for people who would like to have fundamental knowledge in project management as well as those who are going to pursue project management certification or experience.
