Testimonials from students in the Fall 2022 course offering . . . 

• "As an assistant PM, working for a subcontractor, I benefited from seeing a job worked from the start with exposure to several factors that were new to me."
• "As a field guy, I learned what will be expected of me as a project manager. I learned specific ways to communicate with my team, organize and plan, and ultimately produce a successful project for the company."
• "At first I was skeptical about this class. I was worried I would be bored. The instructor keep the class interesting and everyone stayed involved, even our classmates who were participating via Zoom. I have worked as a project manager for three years. I learned the full process of how the job starts from the time an owner decides they want to building a building to the final punch list. This class was very informative and I would suggest it to anyone looking to better understand project management." 
• "To me, this is a great class for someone new to project management. It goes in depth with real life scenarios and troubles we often encounter in the construction industry."
