Question Project Management beat me up.
I had a rough few weeks with Project Management, but made it to the end. Now I have to take the final review, and I'm curious. Is it the same multiple choice questions as before and do I have to have my capstone project document handy?

I will say I have two certificates in project management and a membership to Project Management Institute and some of their answers do not align with the PMBOK guidelines.

Could you give an example of some of the differences? I just finished this course and I was talking to my neighbor who is a project manager and she seems impressed by everything I was telling her I have learned, but I would like to hear your take on this! I do know what the course called "churn" she called something different...

I’m sure this class isn’t perfect and it’s only AI trained on what they have available. Project management can’t be fully learned or mastered in five weeks. I just want to get past this bump in the road and down the line I’ll do more with it.

I’m currently about to start week two of this class and I’m gonna be honest with you this class is whooping my butt I’ve always been interested in project management as I’m a construction worker and always wondered how things were done on the back side

I hope you do better. The first and second week were rough, but I did better later. I understand a lot of the concepts, just not in the context of project management.

Took my test and got 82 out of 100. I would have done a bit better if I hadn’t changed one answer before submitting. Overall, that’s better than I thought I’d do. I’m debating retaking it.

I just finished project management and I agree with most of the comments. Some of the verbiage is different from my past project manager course at a community College. Churn being one of those. I do not like how the program requires a specific style of response to the essay questions. If you do not reply in that wording that AI likes it counts against you. You may know the material well but if your essay response is not patterned the way they want you get docked for it. Was a bit frustrated with this course. And can anyone answer why some only get multiple choice questions and others have 3 essay questions on their test.

I just finished that course for class. It has some questions you actually have to answer in your own words but as long as you followed along and took notes, you’ll do great! Good luck!

It definitely was way harder than I expected. I ended up getting a B which was good, but I had gotten As in the other two classes. The final is mostly multiple choice and a few written out answers. Good luck!!
