I'm glad that I took this course because I could learn more about Retrospective and learn something I didn't really know about, which is the "Closing" process of a project.

It was a very immersive and interesting course -- a lot of self-learning to be done on my own to really understand and put together into practice the methedology.

I recently completed the Project Execution: Running the project course certification offered by Google on Coursera, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the course material and the delivery. Here's my review:

Firstly, the course is very well structured and organized. It starts with the basics of project management and then gradually builds up to more advanced topics. The course covers everything from creating a project plan and identifying and managing risks to tracking progress and communicating with stakeholders. The lessons are easy to follow, and the course is designed to be completed at your own pace.

Secondly, the course is very practical and hands-on. Throughout the course, there are numerous exercises and assignments that allow you to apply what you have learned. This not only reinforces your understanding of the concepts but also gives you practical experience in project management.

Thirdly, the course is taught by industry experts who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in project management. They share real-life examples and case studies that help you understand how to apply the concepts in the real world.Finally, the course is offered by Google, a well-respected company in the technology industry. This gives the course credibility and ensures that the course material is up-to-date and relevant.

Overall, I highly recommend the Project Execution: Running the project course certification offered by Google on Coursera. It is an excellent course for anyone looking to develop their project management skills, and the quality of the course material and delivery is top-notch.

I gave it 4 * only because I felt excluded from teaching due to lack of reading materials. We all learn things differently (watching, listening, doing) I had to read the script to learn the course materials.

This part of the specialization is a bit lengthy, but course contents are excellent. Whole course is designed very well. Only thing need to improve is instructor's pace and delivery. Her sound dies out by the end of her sentences. Maybe because I am not a native english speaker thats why I had difficulty listening to her compared to other instructors in this specialization.

The course is too long and some contents is similar to previous courses, although the instructor speaking style is better than in course 3. Also, in the data visualisation part, the content is too shallow.

Very boring in the middle! Absolutely impractical lectures about data, teambuilding and influence and no hands-on experience. The worst course in the specialisation so far.

The teacher is well-spoken and knows the material. However, the time-frames given are very misleading because there are so few readings to use as notes. It would be much easier and organized to provide a reading before each video lesson that summarizes the main topics and some of the more important details. Then, when a student watches the video they will have already read the material and can add to the notes they have printed out. This would help throughout the entire course. This course in particular had an enormous amount of extra notes, so the videos took much longer than predicted.

The quality of this course is below Google average.

The instructor is very bad and the supporting materials are insuficient.

It is a shame and a waste of time

Repetitive and a large amount of unecessary information. I feel as though all the videos and repetitive, long readings, are just there to fill time.

The content was incredibly comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics crucial for any aspiring project manager. The way the course was structured made complex concepts easy to understand, and the real-life examples and case studies provided valuable insights. One of the things I loved most about the course was the depth of knowledge shared by the instructors. Their expertise was evident, and their passion for project management was contagious. The interactive nature of the course, including quizzes, discussions, and practical exercises, kept me engaged throughout. Moreover, the course materials were well-organized and accessible. The platform used for the course was user-friendly, making it convenient to navigate through modules and track my progress. The resources provided, such as reading materials and additional references, were incredibly helpful for further exploration. What truly sets this course apart is the exceptional support from the instructors and the community. Whenever I had questions or needed clarification, the instructors were prompt and helpful in their responses. Additionally, the discussion forums allowed me to connect with fellow learners, providing a collaborative learning environment. I also appreciate the emphasis on real-world applications. The course not only taught theoretical concepts but also focused on practical aspects, preparing me for the challenges I might face in my future projects. As someone transitioning into project management, this practical approach was invaluable. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone pursuing a career in project management. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your skills, this course provides a solid foundation and practical insights that are invaluable. I am leaving this course feeling confident, inspired, and well-equipped to tackle any project management challenge that comes my way.
