I thought it was a great intro coming from my Architecture background and looking forward to the other classes. I did think the information was occasionally repetitive but overall it had a great flow.

This was a great experience. It gave the confidence to tackle such issues as Duration of Activity Schedules and many more. Learned a lot and course content will forever be my guide on future projects.

[Staff],

Sorry But I though I was going to learn hands on work practical experiences that I could use on my resume for actually getting a job since this is the main reason why I study not just for theory information like this course was.

I feel I was expecting more like for example showing if this construction project management is more like an office job rather than the heavy labour that most construction workers go through because I am only interested in office job and i thought this could be use for my resume to land a job but i didn't learn any technical here are all the courses like that?

Because I don't want to waste my time taking something that I am not going to learn any technical skill that could be use for receiving employment after completing the courses or degrees.

Regards
