Students' comments on the course:

Fall 2005:

- " I really liked the decision analysis book...readable, interesting and complete in its coverage. I also liked the Project Risk Management book. We all had disagreements with it in one way or another, but I think we can all agree that it challenged us to get to the next level in our thinking. The different perspective was valuable."

- "I think the weekly assignments were excellent. There was a very comprehensive coverage of Project Risk Management. Many topics were covered. The assignments were applicable to material covered in class."

- "This course provided an extensive overview of risk, tools and techniques. At times the material was very complex e.g. AHP. Gary Kretchik did an excellent job."

- "[I liked] Dr. Ra's enthusiasm about the Project Management Program."
