I signed up for the 'Project Management Essentials' short course this past spring semester because my group projects always seemed to spiral into chaos. It was incredibly helpful! The course broke down the fundamentals – planning, scheduling, risk identification, stakeholder communication – in a really practical way. We used the techniques immediately on a class assignment, and for the first time, our team stayed organized and met deadlines without the usual stress. It's given me skills I know I'll use constantly in my future career. Great foundation!
