Learner Reviews & Feedback for Distributed Programming in Java by Rice University

thanks to coursera platform,to learn new way to solving distributed problem in java

Excellent course and instructor. It is a nice introduction to several subjects.

The course was well laid out and introduced me to some new concepts.

Great lectures. I really learned a lot about distributed computing.

First two courses are better. This one is quick and a little vague

I would expect more indepth details about topics

nice experience. i have learned a lot programs.

The instructor was not clear with his approach

Course does not go too deep in arguments, but gives a quite basic knowledge about distributed data structures and algorithms.

Programming assignment is some what easy, I think it my be better to require student to finished the complete code.

The basicness of this course is simply unexpectable. It makes you "Jack of all trades, master of none".

Covers topics not in the EPFL's distributed computing course. Assignments are trivial.

Good course for over view of all the concepts related to Distributed Programming.

Good course. I think MPI and Actors could use a lot more lectures and exercise.

Please provide a detailed explanation to give some background knowledge.

There are issues in the assignments created, and those are just due to negligence. The content is also not so challenging and teaching is average. Wont recommend the course at all

Very poor rating system for mini project 4. Why don't you fix the problem?
