    The course is narrated in simple language which most of the people can get through even for though English is not their native language. The step by step instructions are very helpful even for a slow learner can corp with it. Examples used are very simple and therefore well understood to motivate a learner try to do himself/herself for practical purpose. To conclude I would say, the course is well prepared in a manner which inspire someone to continue reading and doing something for practical purpose. It is real a self- paced learning course. No technical terminologies have been used or where they are used are given simple descriptions which most learner can understand. I enjoyed learning.

    This course "Planning for Monitoring and Evaluation" introduced the fundamentals of M&E and went further to guide the learners through a robust process of creating an M&E Plan. It explained the meaning, similarities and differences between monitoring and evaluation. In addition, the course walked the learners through the important components of an M&E plan (Introduction document, Logical Framework, Indicator Document, Data Flow Map, Roles and Responsibility Chart).
    The course stressed the need and made learners understand that monitory and evaluation was fundamental to the success of any project and must be inculcated into the project as early as at the design phase.

    Before now, I have been scouting the internet for resources on M&E with little success due to the junks out there. But in spite of my skepticism about the thorough nature of online course, I decided to just give it a try and really, the Philanthropy University platform is the best. The case studies, resource, illustrations, tasks etc. was wonderful and for everyone of my team at Oliveserah Business and Academic Concepts, taking courses with Philanthropy University will become a norm.
