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.

Course is very basic in nature. It should be made more intensive catering to the demands of working professionals and increasing stress and demands.

This course can completed within an hour and the main principles or ideas could have been summarised or put in a more concise and precise manner.

Me pareció un curso bien interesante por que ahora ya se como aprovechar mi tiempo que es tan valioso en mi trabajo, estudios y vida personal.

The video lectures should be made more attractive and interactive. Sometimes they feel kind of dull. Otherwise the content is fairly good.

Better to provide real life case study example that shows how people using a particular system can really be more productive than before

It was nice experience, but to be hones I expected more information about this topic and that is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Pretty high level and basic. Didn't dig as deep as I would have liked. It should probably be labeled as a "For Beginners" type course

It is so simple and not necessary to pay for this course. I expect courses that challenge and teach us more. At the end thanks anyway.

It was generally about the things I focus in my life, not a big change happened for me. But may be it is because I am always planned

It was good to review and remind myself of some principles I've learnt in the past, but I felt the course was a bit light on detail.

This was an excellent course, but rather brief. The information was easy to absorb. There is a lot of value to taking the course.

There are some good tools to use, but the information presented it really just an overview and there isn't much substance to it.

Solid Course overall, would appreciate more printable content and summary sheets, some of the media links did not work as well.

This class was more so tailored to those already in the work force rather than those in college, but it gave some helpful tips.

So far, its good and simple, this course is for those who really want to make practical impact in their lives. So far so good!

It's good, however, it is nothing I could not have learned from a youtube video from someone like Thomas Frank for instance

The course content was pretty superficial. Nothing was new to me. Maybe I already knew too much about project management.

By HUGHES M

Interesting and informative, but more of a talk than a course - I was surprised by how little content there was in it.

Only for beginners in time management who know nothing about time-saving techniques. It is very easy and repetitive.

Few tips to really organise our time. This module is good for people who do not have a clue on organising their time

Interesante, es como una especie de curso motivacional para poder clasificar mejor el tiempo con organización y ya.

The presenter was good but the course was too basic and barely an overview. It needed to be longer to be worth it

Just the usual things reiterated. However tests are good and remind us how even obvious points could be missed.

Good course, but a bit simple if you have any previous experience with or interest in managing your own time.

This course is very interactive and offers different cool ways of learning. Yet, this seems quite basic.
