For the final graded assignments, it would be good to provide feedback on incorrect answers. At present only the grades % is provided, and we are not clear as to what questions have incorrect answers.

I'm taking this course as preparation for the PMP exam (which I have not taken yet). I have some project management experience, but no prior formal training in project management. This course seems to provide a very high-level overview of project management. On the plus side, it has familiarized me with some jargon that I did not know and helped me orient myself in the project management world, which I imagine will be beneficial on the exam. The lectures are easy to follow, and I like the lecture-review-quiz format that is used throughout the course. However, I don't feel like this course has given me knowledge or tools to make me a better project manager. Few of the concepts are illustrated with examples. Tools are mentioned and defined at a high level, but there is no instruction about how to implement them. Perhaps those things will be fleshed out in more detail in the later courses within the specialization. One glaring error in the construction of this course was the end-of-module quiz at the end of the introductory module. It contained many questions on topics that were not discussed until later modules, and some were never discussed at all throughout this course. The quiz was clearly misplaced within the sequence of tasks, or may not even belong in this course at all. This leaves me wondering about the quality control that went into preparing this course.
