It is quite useful information to know basic office managers

By Damian Morean on 3/25/2020

Thought it would go more in depth about the tasks associated with actually conducting office management. The knowledge given is good to know but not detailed enough to really apply.

By Bilkisu Abdullahi on 2/19/2020

Informative course with well highlighted points and syllabus.

By Sandra Chaves on 11/11/2019

Very well organized, but the "bonus lecture is just an intent to sell more classes.

By Ahsanur Kabir on 10/17/2019

Good delivery. Typical Asian academic education. Instructor focused more on office layout and rather key terms of office management. Real life example is completely missing.

By Nathalie Amoa on 7/18/2019

Yes, it was a good match, but I couldn't understand the lecturer who has a very strong accent, even having read the transcript simultaneously which was not very accurate. I am disappointed.

By Leoncio Linden on 6/2/2019
