Simple, lucid and engaging with real-time practical challenges. Resource material like formats, slides and link to articles and youtube video (loved the one on Multitasking in Week 4) are beneficial.

Instruction videos were short and to the point, and modules did not take long to complete. I would appreciate more in-video review questions and supplemental articles, however.

Good curse. The issue is that it was way way too short, and I felt its content is the equivalent of a week, and that more could be said about it. Again, otherwise, good course.

The additional resources provided add that extra edge to your learning from this course and the provision of slides recapitulating what the videos covered is a great support.

This is a great introductory course on productivity. It is also a good 'refresher' on the basics for those who have forgotten what they learned earlier in the careers. ;-)

Very good tools to use for time management. My favorite lesson is where the facilitator stated we teach people how to treat us i.e. answering emails at 2am. It can wait.

Definitely a great course to let me know where is the problem. Sometimes problem doesn't lies on yourself but your employer. Do stand up for yourself and not get abuse.

A good basic introduction to the principles of time management in the professional workplace. However, a bit light in terms of depth, and not overly challenging.

The best of all is Mike Sanders Videos on multitasking in week 4 otherwise, its all general knowledge PLANNING your day at work. A bit slow paced course for me.

Useful, but in a general sort of way. The instructor was well spoken and deliberate, but the content comes across as more "common-sense" material than anything.

It's informative but the test is too constrictive. I hope you can adjust the setting to take it at least 2 times in every 8 hours and not just once. Thank you!
