I am a graduate from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and a Ph. D. from Jharkhand Rai University, Ranchi, India. I enjoy teaching Operations Research and Applied Mathematics to students at different levels. My main engagement is with Insurance professionals who need to apply data science and related concepts extensively in their area of work. These subjects can be learnt...
Good learning experience overall.
Very easy to Understand.
Well explained
The content was very good but more mathematical towards the end. With my role as planner using Projects and P6 this is not required as the projects working on are extremely large in terms of activity lines.
However the beginning/middle of the course was extremely good for me as a beginner and was clearly communicated/ explained with good examples and practise situations were excellent also.
It was really a great course, I enjoyed learning .Only thing I was missing is some more practical based questions can be added.
Yes, I used project management knowledge on my job.
The explanations were very clear and easy to understand.
NO PERT ANALYSIS AT ALL, SORRY
Great course, thank you!
