"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."
