Student Reviews:

"I enjoyed this course and again found it very practical. It is preparing me for the PMI exam and I also use it to relate to a current project I am involved in as well as using the project to relate to the class. What I like about the series so far is that it give me a context to use for achieving both business and personal goals." -Janet (Mar 1999)

"I enjoyed the presentations made by the Instructor, ie. his humor and examples. I also thought his quizzes were good. I wish I had more time for classroom discussion, but alas, did not." -Sandra (Mar 1999)
