Some of the videos ended while the narrator was still talking.

It was informative, but I feel like it could have been better. I took this course because I want to take over a family business and was interested in learning about estimating construction projects. This course is meant for people looking to understand the concepts of project management in construction. Real-world experience on the job site would be better than taking this class, in my opinion.

so far, I like the course. I do wish there were more quizzes and maybe some practical application of the course material.

While I am not in construction management, this course does help understand what is involved in a project and how to estimate cost. I have worked in the construction industry for 30 years on the financial side (payables and compliance), and knowing how all of this comes together before I see an invoice is interesting.
