Loved this course. The instructor makes this course what it is. Lessons and terms are great, but real world applications are necessary to help you learn to practice your newly acquired skills.

I did all four courses - the whole specialization. Each course in itself was aright and I learned new things. However, the course certificate is meaningless. It neither states the content nor the effort (for example the hours). Instead, it even says "non-credit course". This is despite the fact that the course equates "35 PDU's" and "counts towards the UCI Project Management Certificate Programm"; as it was described in the FAQ. I feel betrayed. How can I apply with such a meaningless peace of paper anywhere?

My suggestion is to integrate this course with a real example of Project in order to follow how its documentation is prepared, step by step. This would be particularly interesting in order to see how "theory" comes in actions, and also to give space to community discussions (and further extensions of the material)

The course was interesting and useful.

I liked the way it was presented.

The lecturer was delivery material in an easy way. Especially I liked bonus videos,where personal experience was shared in order to prevent students of making similar mistakes.

The most important, it caught me interest for further project management learning.

Thank you !

All the best!

The course was a refined scientific journey. An easy application for risk management, analysis and classification. And the need to introduce change management in projects. Thanks to Dr. Margaret Meloni, her explanation and performance have been wonderful and deepen her understanding of information and knowledge.

Good course to provide introduction to project management. It would have been nice, if they have included few examples of project charter, risk management plan etc.

I have completed three of the four classes for this series and have been impressed by all of the lessons. The videos are easy to understand as Margaret speaks slowly and really enunciates well. I think she did a great job getting so many concepts in just a few lessons. Great course!

Managing Project Risks and Changes by University of California, Irvine taught me a new skill set of knowledge applicable to my overall career and self-development. The topics are all relevant and delivered professionally by the subject matter experts. The discussions and activities are well organized for learners to gain a better understanding of the course.

Awesome! I learned a lot the fundamental knowledges as well as case studies in Risks And Changes Management. Changes and Risks always occur in the real world so the same things certainly happen in projects. Thus, well prepare Risks and Changes management plan in earlier project then monitor, control, assess frequently Risks and Changes to help gain project objectives easily. Thanks instructor and staffs!

Interesting series of courses that allow for good insight of what a project manager has to do and how to plan a project. I also did the other courses of the specialisation "Introduction to Project Management Principles and Practices". I can highly recommend them. The courses consist of an introductory video lecture, very good lecture slides, little case studies, graded quizzes and further reading.

I really liked the course format which was simple to follow and easy to understand. Its really good that course material is not unnecessarily complicated or too difficult. This made it easy for me personally to learn and understand concepts clearly. I also liked the additional bonus videos in the end by Prof Meloni sharing her experiences from which we can all learn about the do's and the don'ts while executing projects.

it's a good course for those who want a definition of project risk, scoping and controlling the changes. It would be perfect if the course have more case study based on actual project to create more realistic situation managing the risk and handling the changes.

It's succinct and very straightforward. I appreciate how this course was very well integrated with the previous two courses and how, it allows us learners space to practice and apply what we have learned in our own context.

I would say that the courses of the Project Management specialization all in all have been very well designed. In a span of 8-10 weeks, I was able to get a clearer picture and structure for managing projects without having to go through an overwhelming amount of detail. The insights from the panelists at the end of each course were particularly helpful for wrapping all the lessons up and for giving an insider's look on how projects can be managed. It's highly likely that I would recommend this course. Thanks, Margaret! :)

Good teaching and the content provided is very good for this course. The content are as per the PMP guidelines and is based on practicality which means what happens at site or in a project and what is expected from a project manger to perform well when it comes to risk management.

Very comprehensive and well-organized. There are also panel interviews of project managers at the end of UCI's project management courses, which provide insight to real-world, practical applications of the concepts discussed in this course. Kudos!

Very informative! While risk management and scope change make up a small part of the project management process, they are some of the most important topics and are well covered in this class.
