This was very informative and full of valuable information about construction project management. The professor is very smart and is an expert at his field. However, I had an extremely difficult time listening to his (thick) accent while trying to follow the lecture. I could barely understand him to the point I was getting annoyed.

Excellent course. Very informative and educational. I only gave 4 stars as in some presentations it was difficult to see some graphics. For example White text in a yellow background was very difficult toread. Some graphics were too small as well. These comments are for the entire Construction Management Course.

ALL 5 courses were assigned to me at the same time. This does not fit the schedule that I set for each of the courses to be taken in a staggered manner. All assignments are due at the same time and there is no way to unenroll from a few of them that I can find in this system.
