An excellent introduction to initiating and planning projects for which you are PM.

Great beginner's course that fills you in on all the essentials of initiating and planning projects.

I learned a lot of the basics around initiating and planning projects as well as the terminology around this area in project management.

A great and comprehensive view at the fundamentals of Initiating and Planning Projects, following (and introducing) the PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge.

Its great Provides a useful brief, easy to follow summary on initiating and planning projects.

Very professional & helpful Excellent coverage of the topic of Initiating and Planning Projects.

A very good course which taught me several things on Initiating and planning projects.

Excelente (y) I think the discussion on initiating and planning projects could be improved to be a bit more comprehensive and It would be great if the lecture slides were downloadable.

Need to download the reading lessons for offline reading Doing this course 'Initiating and Planning Projects' gives learners, practical skills on Project management based on PMBOK methodology which is framed by PMI based on contributions from experienced professionals in the field.

This was very helpful for initiate Great introduction to initiating and planning projects!

Amazing and Easy to Understand Initiating and Planning Projects is a good course and I like it.

Very clear instruction with excellent visual aids and real-life case studies that helped me apply the concepts of initiating and planning projects.

Highly detailed with case studies to broaden one's knowledge.

I like the videos and structure, but the assignments here are very weak--would be much more effective and useful to work with actual case studies.

It was very systematic teaching Excellent course The course can be improved by giving some more case studies.

great way to start a PM career Highly Recommended for beginners , starts from zero level There are too many poured notions without practical explanations or case studies.

It offered recorded sessions, examples, case studies, control questions during lessons, and a summary of key principles as extracted from the PMBOK guide.

Great experience lack of organization, most of the course is readings, lack of case studies, acceptable in general, one of the rare courses in project management anyway this is an awesome course.

I found the case studies (where you had to imagine a real life situation and select a decision) useful - there was one of these per week when I think there could have been more, perhaps three a week.

I love the way it's done and really appreciate case studies.

Great mix of lectures, reading/lessons, case studies and real-life examples.

I really like the case studies and also the panel discussion at the end.

Case studies and panel interviews also did add a bit of 'practical' flavour to PMBOK fundamentals.

I highly recommend, with excellent case studies and all-encompassing quizzes.

I really enjoyed the course with Dr. Margaret Meloni, she is a great Teacher.

Whilst the presenter, Margaret Meloni, was enthusiastic and pleasant to listen to, the content was very sparse indeed.

Thanks Margaret Meloni!

Good for begginers W a big WOW to Margaret Meloni's style of instructions!I've tried taking a few online project management course but lost the interest half way, I am determined to complete this one,due to her simple approach of explaining the concepts related,very clear and precise.My understanding about the project management gets better after listening to her lectures.Keep up the good work!

I would love it.Materials of the course are were very exactly formulated and understandable.Margaret Meloni made this course as colorful with her melody voice and good explanations.I think i will use knowledge which i got from the course in my future works.

very very useful training ,Specially thanks for university of California and of course Margaret Meloni.

I really liked the practical examples given by the instructor, Margaret Meloni, and the interviewees.

Margaret Meloni is an amazing speaker.

Margaret Meloni presents material in an engaging format.

It's really a good course to take a first step in project management A good course introducing Project management Project management is usually associated with nervous activities and hard emotional states of participants but Margaret Meloni shows that it can be calm and smooth with excellent and clear explanations!

Mrs. Margaret Meloni's explanations makes it simple and helps understand project management concepts.

This feeling was supported by the unavailability of all course materials.Throughout the course the PMBOK guide was included as the suggested reading.

Its leverage knowledge with practical experience from elites in the field with expertise in project management I thought the course provided a great overview of the PMBOK Guide and project management principles.

This is a good approach on learning the PMBOK guide, gives you the perfect insight on how to stud the guide.

The presentations are perfectly structured, but they are a bit long, so again plan on spending a good 20 minutes per presentation if you plan on taking notes and all.Finally, the role of the PMBOK Guide as complimentary material to this class is strongly under-emphasized in the introduction.

Following the PMBOK guide and covering all the relevant portions in the limited time deserves an applause.

Please rely less on PMBOK Guide.

good walk through of several of the chapters of the PMBOK Guide Really great course.

Just wish that the PMBOK guide book was included in the course for free.

i'm very satisfy thank's for the support Course was good, but in the end I feel that I could have gained the same information if I just purchased the PMBOK Guide, and it would have been cheaper than taking this course.

I highly recommend this course especially as taught by this particular instructor.

I especially appreciated the real life examples and the case studies Melonie presented.

It was very interesting course and quite informative and detailed coupled with interesting approaches to situations and real life examples.

The bonus videos that the presenter does on real life examples are excellent and I've watched some of them multiple times.

Videos were easy to follow - delivering real life examples of the challenges within project management!

It is a great course, they should just expand more and do more questions, the TMBOK guide goes why deeper, they should also but nether the less it is a great course I would like to see the more practical information.

I would like to see when you answer something wrong on a quiz/final that it show you the correct an As a web and graphics designer, this course will help a lot.

After quizes, I would like to see correct answers regarding my wrong response.
