Really enjoyed this whole series! I appreciate the instructors expertise and her presentation was pleasant and enjoyable. I like how everything was broken down into manageable chunks. I think this was a good start in gaining understanding of project management. One critique- I would have liked to have more feedback on the quizzes- to explain why were answers incorrect to learn from along the way.

The courses contain the key subjects that a PMP test requires. However, I found some of the answers provided were wrong. It will be helpful if it provides explanation for each question.

This course gets repetitive with content covered in previous courses in this series. Some net new content is included as well, but it feels like it could have been trimmed down. More than the other courses, this one also heavily recycles the practice questions into the graded assignments so the graded assignments feel much more perfunctory as I already know the answers. I've appreciated this whole series and feel better prepared to take the PMP Exam overall.
