A Word From the Faculty
Student Testimonials (from Course Evaluations)
- “I absolutely enjoyed the course. It is designed in a very systematic fashion such that each student is exposed to the best practices a project manager should follow. The course not only focuses on the basics but also on the advanced topics. The design of course makes it possible to learn arduous concepts with ease. The guest lectures were icing on the cake. They offered valuable industry insights. The design of assignments was spot on. Each assignment enabled us to learn as well as apply the concepts learnt in the class.”
- “Project Management is a course worth taking for any student who aspires to pursue project management as a career. I learned a lot of new concepts – especially the frameworks of agile project management. Learning MS Project also was a plus from the professional development point of view.”
- “The team assignments helped us apply concepts learned from the readings and lectures. The case studies were intensive and the course was extremely team dependent, that allowed us to learn how to be effective as project leaders.”
- “It is a great course and has good content. The simulations also helped in understanding a few things better and were fun. Assignments seemed relevant.”
