My favorite course of the Certificate Program by a mile. I enjoyed learning from such a great instructor and true Google "Agilest", who provided many real-life project examples and useful tips. Kudos.

Muy buen curso, enfocado a una primera toma de contacto en la metodologia Agile. Sin embargo, tambien profundiza en algunos conceptos importantes, por lo que no se queda para nada corto de nformacion.

The information is great, the platform is terrible. I loved learning from Google PM's, I love the practice activities, and the scinarios the teachers used, but I hated the peer reviewd documents. I have ben an educator for 12 years prior to my career move and everything I know to be true about assessment was ignored in this entire 6 course program.

Peer reviews are incredably frustrating. One peer accesses your work and give you great marks with awesome feedback. The next person has trouble opening your document so they give you all 0's and you have to start again. This occured for most of my work in this program. I spent the last week of my "learning" begging my peers to review my work in the discussion boards. On average, I would say that I had to resubmit each one of my peer reviewd assignments 3 times. Then there was the posting in the discussion board and "returning the favor" by grading even more of my peer's work. This is not a system that works. With the course fee being what it is, I'd prefer to have my work graded by instructors.

Lastly, when I did finish a course I was prompted by Coursera to "verify my ID." I've been verifying my ID for completed coursrses for weeks now, every time I log in, and the promt never goes away. So I figured when I did complete the course, it would be a surprise what name appeared on my certificate. I've completed and I'm being prompted now to "purchase certificate." Clicking on that button, again, does nothing. I've been doing this for 3 days. I don't know how much the purchase is, who's name (if any) will be on it, or how long it will take to get it.

I begin a new career in July and I thought starting this course in late April would be enough time to complete it and provide my new employer with certification. I worked really hard to get the classwork done quickly, little did I know that the hardest and most time consuming part of the process was just getting Coursera to work.

I am a Google Certified Educator and I loved that program. I learned so much! I was really hopeful that this learning would be of the same quality. Sadly, it was not.

As a PSM I am so disappointed. There were sooo many mistakes and Scrum-but (Scrum which is not following rules written in Scrum Guide. E.g. our "teacher" tells us Scrum team is "3-9 people" but in the Scrum Guide is "10 or fewer people"; talks about "Development Team" instead of Developers; presenting Daily Scrum which isn't daily... She is not implementing Scrum correctly and should not teaching about Scrum!). So many times I had to choose wrong (according to Scrum Guide) answer to pass this course. And she just had to follow not so long - 10 pages - document which is Scrum Guide. If you want to be Scrum Master or implementing Scrum in your team/organization, or pass certificate (e.g. Professional Scrum Master), I'll recommend you to forget about everything you've just learnt and read Scrum Guide or find an other course to prepare. There were other mistakes e.g. in SAFe we learnt there are 5 values (but there are 4 and iirc only 2 were correct)

Very subjective class with some missing guidelines. One video had a person refer to something in the video and the very next exercise right after the video was a question with two of the parameters the lecturer spoke of and both were "wrong." Something about a plant and over/under watering and another with sunlight, both were legitimate answers, but only one was for another exercise. A peer reviewed task was very unclear and poorly written. Then came the final modular challenge where one question was clearly wrong. I have taken 5/6 for the certificate and this one was very vague, frustrating, irritating, and poorly managed. The others were great.

For a few days in a row I was unable to access the course due to "Maintenance." I am still in this situation and I am waiting for it to be solved as I did not pay the subscription to be unable to access the materials. It is not ok. At least, it could have been stated before payinf for the course, but not, they let me pay without any warning. So, I cannot acces the course since I renewed my subscription. I hope those 39$ do not go down the drain.

The content of this course was beyond frustrating. From what I could tell, there didn't seem to be much of an outline or at least a proper outline that she was following and it felt like she was jumping from one thing into the next haphazardly . There was a lot of repetition and I felt like it was assumed that we are idiots in some areas. I hated this class and I am relieved to have it done.

It was WAY TOO MUCH. Too many videos. TOO MANY. I hated this section. It should have been for 5 or 6 weeks. not 4.

If this format was the first instead of the 5th, I would not have done the course.

TOO MANY VIDEOS. Please consider expanding this to 5 or 6 weeks. It was too much.

Very unhappy.

Instructor speaks too fast. Hard to understand new concepts and barely explained. Not a good course for brand new Agile project concepts leaners. After I finished this course with over 90% marks, I still don't get concepts and processes.

I did not receive the Agile Project Management Certificate even after completing the course. I don't wish to pursue the entire Project Management Course. Not satisfied.

This has very little to do with project management other than in one or two specific industries... and is already adequately covered by Six Sigma
