I have never had a chance to study CS at the university so I am always looking for ways to improve my knowledge - to keep up with fellow programmers. And this course met my requirements perfectly. :)
This course was not easy, especially when you have zero knowledge on subject. But it is very helpful subject and will certainly be a plus for you career in software development.

•Really useful course, it let me understand the patterns deeply

•Content was good, but some "starter code bases" were missing.

•Very Insightful! Not a fan of the peer-graded assignments

•Nice course, but slightly faster than I wanted it to be

•Many of the explanations concerning design patterns are too abstact and there are not enough practical exercise to understand them deeply. For many topics you won´t be able to get a good idea about the practical application.

•Forum is not useful, unfortunately. No involvement by teachers, just a bunch of guys asking for assignments to be graded. Grading by others is much too lenient, i.e. even if you make errors, you are awarded too many points.

•Missing course notes, even though there are a lot of references about the GoF Design Pattern. Most of the UMLs and codes are poorly reviewed.
By George P
•Very light course... I would say very easy and does not get into depth...

•Bom, porém a qualidade das atividades poderia ser melhor.
By Nguyen T N
•need more sample usages of design patterns in real world

•Not Bad

•What a great topic! And what a poor job they did with this one! Its a shame, it feels like they only care about the money.

•I have read in some places that Coursera needs to improve its Review system, because the stars of this course do not match reality.
Clearly, this course is not in the "standard coursera" of quality (if you have already taken some courses, you will understand). The evaluation system is by colleagues, but it does not work, the classes are very weak, you will probably find the material of the wikipedia more didactic and in-depth. Few exercises. In fact, I don't even know if it can be called "exercise", it seems more like something for you to get a grade and not learn something. It needs to be reviewed urgently, as Coursera is now paid.

•Waste of time and money, I was expecting to improve my programming skills but this course only gives definitions and there is no valuable practices, this is not something that can be added to a curriculum... very disappointed...

•Practice and rare lecture slides are the opposite of principles they are trying to teach. Assignments are all peer graded and based on one bloated android program
