Grading process could be better

I do not enjoy the activities.

quite boring

The course material is great. However, the graded assignment is a waste of time. You have to have someone else review your work in order to pass the course, but no one ever reviews the course, so I wonder if I am ever going to get the certificate for doing the work. In the discussion, people are begging each other to review their work, so they can move on. I have completed everything and am waiting. Also, part of the assignment is to grade 3-4 other people's assignments, but I went through at least 15 submissions and only 4 of them I could access. Some of the submitted assignments were spam, so I worry about what I brought onto my computer. It took way too much of my time. Also, there were never any answers given for the assignment, so I don't know if what I did was correct. Likewise, we were never given any correct answers for what we were made to correct. I am not impressed that my grade/access to the certificate depends on this criteria.

Horrible experience. The content is not communicative though the subjects chosen were good. The instructor's way of delivery was so pessimistic that it was hard to concentrate on the topic. But if she is a AI bot, it is okay :D The reading material supplied on the course is not properly prepared, so they put many external links to read in the reading materials. That is one of the reasons this course became so boring. Why should I be here if I need to invest lots of time reading out some external links? Please try to see the instructor's style of delivery and course content in Foundations of Project Management. That's why the highest number of people enrolled in that course among the 6 courses of project management courses by Google.

Very upset, very disappointed about one section of this course. Really needs to be re-evaluated. I feel like I am in high school. I thought this course was for changing careers(adulting) etc. The "PEER-GRADING ASSIGNMENTS "aspect is and I quote "STUPID" it's like being in highschool, we are finding the popular kids to like and grade your assignments REALLY!?!? and if you don't find " POPULAR KID " to grade your assignment than your just sitting in limbo waiting and being held up, once again REALLY?!?! How about you keep the same honor system that you have been using throughout the course. Allow the Adults to keep working towards the goals that keep being repeated throughtout the course.

I feel that the content was really good, but it's being wasted. I've completed Module 2 four times because it wouldn't save my progress, and it kept resetting, so I had to redo everything, even reviewing all the content overnight. Additionally, it didn't save my progress, updated the test, and gave me the same grade twice. I never had this issue with the first course, 'Fundamentals of Project Management,' where I successfully completed it with a 92.5%. Unfortunately, this course feels like a waste of time.Additionally, I previously canceled the course, but the subscription was still charged. The content is not good; it's a lose-lose situation.

I completely forgot about the peer graded assignments on Coursera. The Google drive share links and such are rough to work with if you accidentally use a google business suite to share it (restricted access which means nobody can view your submission).

In addition having a whole system that promotes self-development but leaving course progress up to a stranger is idiotic. It's so frustrating to get excited to complete a course but to held back by a "peer assignment" that 5% of people put effort into reviewing. It's an obvious ploy to make people have to wait and ultimately pay past the free trial.

This course was a hard slog and mind-numnbingly dull compared to course 1. A lot of the material was presented in a backwards manner compared to course 1 that made it harder to follow and stay engaged with. It took forever. Wish it had more demos of the software instead of links to trials as I have zero experience. The Basecamp site was the only one with easily accessible info on how it runs. None of the tools appeared to work offline. Disappointing as not an option when internet isn't reliable and no cloud access. Not going to work on a ship in international waters.

The peer review system is extremely confusing and not necessarily fair. When I texted a friend to get some help, she said she couldn't figure it out and gave up. I THINK another student gave me a non-passing grade, but I'm not really sure.

I appreciate how affordable the program is, but this aspect needs work. I have seen similar comments in various forums online that date back years. My perception is that nobody at Google/Coursera cares about this particular concern.

Was not as organized as course 1 & 3. The information in both of these courses was well organized in the powerpoint slides in the videos, course 2 lacked this big time, i found it hard to differentiate between what information should be remembered or taken as notes and the instructor presented the information in a circle... i found the course challenging not because the information wasn't there but because of the way it was presented.

Very poor guidance. Emails directing me to Submission page, where is that? There is a button that says submission for Course 2 Week 2 but no where can you click and paste a link? Asked for help and the gives me directions to go to submission tab. Really? Where? This not anything like I thought it would be considering it's Google. Very poorly put together. I regret my decision to use Google for this certification for PM entry level.

I have attempted the assignment within this course 6 times and the robots that are grading are not properly review the information within the document. I have reviewed my work numerous times and users are selecting 0 points when I have inputted 3 points within the requirement. I dislike this process and believe it is highly flawed and holding me back from passing the course. I will not recommend this course at all.

Course was fine until I realized it required "Peer" review. I have taken 100's of online courses over the last 20 twenty years and not once was "Peer" review a requirement. I do not do Peer review it is a waste of my time, as well as the security issues. If I had known that this was a big part of Coursera's methodology, I would never joined the site in the first place, Big mistake on my part.

Was really loving this course until the peer-review stuff came up, now I understand all the critique I've heard from it. It doesn't fit an online format well at all and people don't take it seriously and give bad marks for the sake of it. I finished the first course and would give that a 5 but with peer-review being so flawed I'm going to have to stop taking this course here.

Dear Coursera, I faced troubles with SMART project goals test. Unfortunately, access fro template and google docs template is denied, and I have no chance to finish this test or to move forward. I've sent request concerning this issue through application and email, but unfortunately I didn't get any answer yet. Kindly ask you and looking for your help.

I am in module 3, and as I have already wrote my issue in Help center. I would also like to share here, since I have pushed the end date, and it was on Jan 28 to submit the assignment, and it is feb 2 now, still I cannot post my assignment please I request the team to fix this problem. I am getting no response, I am only asking for help to fix my issue.

Too basic and boring. I did 4 courses thinking I would learn something eventually. I think PM act as mediator with no expertise at all and just act as someone who manages the project and has authority. To be honest, any one can do it and has no value. Don't waste your time and do something meaningful. - Just my perspective and being honest.

The instructor's teaching style is very monotonous

The instructor's voice was very low, I had difficulty hearing, and compared to the fundamentals of project management training, it was very boring. I'm sorry, but I didn't get enough productivity from the training, and I lost motivation.

I will NOT and NEVER have my assignments "verified" by other course participants. Neither will I verify other course participants. Not everyone speaks English equally well, maybe I misunderstand him or he misunderstands me, this makes your course completely subjective and therefore USELESS!

Excellent course except for the peer reviewed assignment component, which is mandatory. If it was optional and/or reviewed by instructors it would be much more useful. Specially for people who already have done project management and/or project coordination in the past.

I am continually prompted to redo lesions from past courses, so it feel like I will never finish.

Customer service for Coursera is non-existent. I would never recommend this program to anyone, and would quit if I hadn't already devoted so much time to this bullshit.

5 stars for the content, 1 star for the coursea strusture and user orientation on in the platform. I was constantly lost, keep closing the windows to go back to the main menu, no numbering of the chapter titles.

Waiting to get a peer review is not efficient but we are required to review 3 before moving forward.

the information is great. and very useful.

this course is well thought out minus the wait time.
