    Introduction to Time and Motion Study
    The course was well put together and very basic; gave a good introduction to the subjects. I can’t say I’m too pleased that none of the videos ever played and there’s no way to get direct remedy from uttana on this. Also, I satisfactorily completed the quiz (pretty sure I got all the questions right), however, my score shows “0%”. I’m not sure I’ll take any more courses from this site. Thank you.-John
