Previous Students' comments on the course:

Spring 2009

"This course has helped me to boost my understanding and competence in solving real life problems. Many Softwares thought in this course contributed a lot to the lifting of my personal value. Many thanks to the instructor−Dr Ra."

"I enjoyed this class and put many applications to work already. Sometimes the homework was a little vauge, but now I understand that was part of the course work."

"This is a very useful course to take."

"This is my first course at UAA and its Project Mgt school. I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge brought to the classroom by Dr Ra and how he wove it into the class material and lectures. As a result, I am contemplating taking additional ESPM and MSPM courses in the future."

"The MSPM program is very well structured and Project Time Management has not only thought me the processes but also I learned to use Microsoft Project and Primavera 6. This is such a wealth of knowledge that you cannot find elsewhere. Dr.Ra is an excellent instructor and continually challenged us to think outside the box!"

Spring 2006:
- "I liked the variety of project time management concepts brought into the class not only by the instructor, but also by the other students. I liked the fact that assignments were relevant to course material and helped in understanding the concepts."

- "Learning to use MS Project, especially EV analysis. The ADKAR model for change management is helpful. The student presentations and shared experience is Awesome! Dr. Ra’s dedication inspires all students and the work we do."

- "Having homework each week is very helpful because it helps me to learn the concepts and apply them consistently as the course progresses rather than one big project at the end. It also helps keep me on track with reading. I think all the classes should be instructed in this way. Great enthusiasm for the subject. This helps to motivate the students."

- "Enjoyed learning the PM software: MSP and Primavera. Felt that there was a thorough review of scheduling technique."

- "I enjoyed hearing from others in the class, and how they deal with common issues in their business. New scheduling techniques e.g. CCPM"

Spring 2005:
- "The beginning got off to a great start, course material was excellent."

- "I really enjoyed the class discussions and presentations. I thought the MS project lessons more valuable."

- "Professor Ra – always enthusiastic, use of computers in class, various guest speakers, PMI meeting visits."

- "I liked the researching of a scheduling topic assignment. I found many interesting topics and learned about new techniques that are being developed. I liked having frequent assignments and prompt feedback."
