Panos completed this course, spending 1 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be very easy.
This "class" is more like an hour long presentation split up into modules. And it's being charged $32 in the specification...really!? The content was ok. It really isn't challenging in the least bit. It offers some interesting advice on how to improve... -

As far as MOOCs go, I have not seen a worse design. This course which is supposed to be taken over 4 weeks will actually take you at most around 2 hours to complete. The tips given in this course are quite basic and there is not any content that was new... -

For me personally this was 2/5 but I'd rate it 4/5 generally. As I'm from Finland, and no one works 80-100 hours per week here, I have difficulty imagining such conditions. Now I understand the term "wage-slave" better. If you are in that kind of situation, the tools and techniques in this course will surely work for you. Otherwise, maybe not so much. -
Rizwana completed this course, spending 10 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
The course is great and helpful for individuals of all age groups, working at any level in a company or even managing their own businesses. The instructor is awesome in the way she teaches techniques with relevant examples. This kept me engaged to the course until I finished it. -

I started the course, but it was a bit tedious. I am taking several other courses and decided to drop this one in order to make better grades in the others. Sorry. -

This course is relatively short, straightforward, and simple. I did have some background knowledge on the topic, however I found this course to be very helpful in putting things into perspective. I appreciated the practical resources offered. -

Only for beginners in time management who know nothing about time saving tecniques. That is why I used it as a background sound for my housework. Unsatisfied -

I got this MOOC provided by my company so didnt pay anything. Thought it will be useful so I suscribed.
If your starting your career maybe itcan be useful otherwise managing yoyr time will be to avoid this MOOC.
Advices are extremely basic like : try to evaluate time for tasks, give priority to priorities etc... even videos are of poor quality which strengthen the feeling of beeing loosing your time. With all the good will that i had (I had a look to all of the 4th week) I unsuscribed because didnt want to see it in my certification. -

I think the major problem with this course is the poor presentation skills, such as monotonous voice and absent animation. In addition, it needs more real-live examples & activities. -
