por JB21 de may. de 2017
Good course, and I agree with a lot of the points. Being active in the industry I was hoping to walk away with new techniques and skill sets. I feel the class was more of a refresher of what we do.
por AS15 de dic. de 2017
I thoroughly enjoyed the detailed explanations provided by Professor Odeh and the professionals from Turner & Townsend. My most favourite part was the lectures of Sam Spata and Ben Miller.
por VG31 de ene. de 2019
Very interesting course with substantial and important information and knowledge to get you familiar with cost estimating and cost control. Very practical and close to reality examples.
por AO20 de ene. de 2017
The main issue that I had was the wrong quizzes. I believe course coordinators need to review and revise some questions on the course. Specially week 2 was full of wrong questions.
