    Sufficient detail (rather than broad concepts) with active, practical learning aspects to it. Easy to navigate and dip in & out as you reference other materials to assist with learning.

    Excellent course, I hope to know a course about LEAN CONSTRUCTION in detail, the one that the Arqch in the last videos spoke about, because this is a excelent tool to use in the field with weekly works programs (wagons) % of completion, yu can see weekly even daily the risks and the mitigations actions. I worked in Mexico with this program in BMW plant in San Luis Potosí, and I had a great oportunity to be surrounded by Residets, Superintendets, Scheduling, PM, CM´s with this education.

    It is very well addressed and has a very practical approach. The different modules provide you with methods to establish the scheduling of a construction of a project , and also analyses the pro's and con's of each method. Moreover, an overview of the different softwares in the market is given. I strongly recommend this course for those professionals that need to participate in construction projects.

    Dear Dr. Odeh,

    Thank You and Kudos for gathering and organizing such a high quality material for the CM Scheduling course. Valuable Hands-on exercises and best of all, having lecturers that are authorities in their field.

    I look forward to following with CM Budgeting and later CM Finance.

    With all appreciation,

    Good learning material, great speakers with their "easy to understand" explanation, and the learning contents are on point. Great for the first learner to start their journey in construction management project scheduling and good for professionals to refresh their knowledge in project scheduling.

    I enjoyed the course. I like the method that it was carried out with. Some of the lectures I heard more than once. First time to get a hold of the large picture. and then again, with taking notes and sometimes rewinding and listening again until well understood. Great job! Keep up your good work!

    I learned that construction scheduling is like a blueprint for how a project will be executed, and it not only organizes the activities and tasks but the overall timeframe for the project, including any milestones. Great speakers that are knowledgeable in all that is needed.

    Great introduction to the most common tools regarding Construction Scheduling. If you have not taken any Scheduling course before this course will get you quickly up to speed. It is not very detailed in terms of tasks that needs to be set up, but it will give you the basics.

    This course was not easy but that is a good thing. I actually learned quite a bit even though I have been in the construction industry for most of my life. I have read many schedules but never really knew the science behind building one.
