Excellent course but need to improve the videos about building an estimate or make available downloadable content because it is difficult to watch the things that are explained on those videos.

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.

I was disappointed in the estimating part of the course; the title is COST estimating, yet there was no example of pricing once a takeoff was complete. Also, I expected to learn more about activity duration of different tasks.

The first lectures were lacking in information and they had a lot of errors on them. Maybe you should include a basis knowledge to enter the course and use the time to extend on some of the later topics

The course outline is very good but more practical examples should be there. Also, in quizzes, problems should be included for practice. Overall, it is great.

It was quite informative, but what you need is to add course materials in excel or PDF. Just talking about the figures is not enough.

I thought it was more technical on how to keep the balance of money of a construction or a company.

The course could be more cost control-oriented and more of a Civil/Construction planning nature.

Lack of slides could be a minus, but some teachers were great in concept explanations.

It`s a good overview of the theme but ends up being a little shallow.

Several instructors have very messy presentations that they think we know what we are looking at when we dont. All over the price and expected to know already how to write sloppy forms on a paper. Not helpful at all

Complete garbage...items not really presented in relevant details with respect to standard industry practices. What you will learn here is not how things are done on the job.
