Great concise course with very good pacing. The lecture on Lean was the one I appreciated the most. The instructor was able to condense and express what he wanted to in a very efficient manner.

The course was great. One thing that could be improved upon is perhaps to add a zoom in feature on the diagrams that people have submitted for better visibility. The text was too small to read. Thanks.

Excellent! Guest speakers were clear and passionate about their fields. Professor Odeh was easy to follow. I think the instructions for the WBS and Job Logic Diagram could have been better.
