Excellent course. Good hands on on project management tools.

Very in-depth.

Circumlocutious and Slap-Dash. Of little practical value. Circumlocutious is an adjective describing language that is roundabout, indirect, and unnecessarily wordy, often using many words where few would suffice. It refers to a style of speaking or writing that avoids being forthright, focusing on evasion or excessive elaboration. That was this course. It was so vague as to be of almost no practical value. (Exceptions, the demonstrations of plotting Gantt charts in Excel and of calculating the Critical Path were decent.) Could have improved: __ attached referenced templates as course content. My version of excel and my company's security policies prevented me from accessing templates. So, I couldn't do anything useful with that section. __ Non-sequitur transitions... suddenly went from one presentation style to a totally different style and narrator. __ almost all the referenced practical problems/examples were skipped over. This course seems like a shoddy adaptation of a different course that might have been interactive. __ so much redundancy __ "For Requirements Traceability Matrix," "collect requirements" jumps around. talks about the next slide and then goes somewhere else. __ Gantt Chart pro tip: "Create tasks and work with the Gantt chart: This will make answering Gantt chart based questions easy and fun." Fun? Really? Ok. __ The first module assessment asked questions about Project Management Institute and had incorrect answers for it (per the PMI website PMP certified PM's earn 17% more than non-certified PMP's. Not 10, 20, 30 or 40%). Maybe I had already fallen asleep, but I had no record of having learned about PMI in this course. __ First module assessment asked questions about the agile templates... I didn't recall learning about Agile until the end of the second module. __ Slides are clipped on the bottom, so some do not display the full content in a legible fashion __ Non-sequitur commercial for SimpliLearn thrown right in the middle of "Control Schedule" lesson. Seems inappropriate. __ At least three, maybe four different narrators __ At several points the presentation slides were very low resolution - illegible __ Inconsistent use of terms: for critical path, sometimes used LF (late finish) and sometimes LC (late completion) __McKinsey's 7-S Framework, never added the last four elements to the slide. Said them real quickly and moved on. Had to replay the slide several times to record what they were. __ Exam two was heavily weighted towards Agile concepts even though they were a very small fraction of module 2 content. Covered possibly the least important aspects of project management. Overall, a real snooze-fest of nearly no practical value. About as useful as telling an aspiring football player (American style) "to become a successfully validated quarterback in the National Football League, throw the selected quality-documented ball-device to the performance management plan's designated receiver in a cost compliant fashion that meets all quality requirements." Good luck with that, kid. In my opinion, this course needs a massive overhaul (or flush and start over) to make it worth anything.
