The contents are very very good, very interesting and usefully. Also the instructors know the subjects very well, and they show that, that is an extra motivation for us to be open to learn from them.

Weeks 3 and 4 were not very useful for me and the Peers assignment of the week 2 gives a birth to many question, you can't get answers for. Peer assignments take much more time then Coursera says. The forum is almost useless. The first and the second courses of specialization weer pretty good, but I can`t recommend this one.

The course is good for those who are seeking an easy and fast course for getting the 35 PDUs in order to achieve the PMP certificate. But if you really want to learn this is a very briefly and easy course.

In principle I am satisfied with the course, but I was unable to receive the specialization because nobody is reviewing my last exam. I find this waiting a waste of time.

I am very disappointed.
