I think sometimes the assessments (quizzes) were too specific on language so if you understood the concept, sometimes the way it was said was so specific it made it incorrect.

Only include the first step of instructional design. The videos mostly provides the theories, there is not a lot of examples (how to apply the theories in real world)

This is a poorly designed course, which is hilarious considering the learning material. The worst offender of all are the multiple choice quizzes where you must select all that apply. The questions are worded awkwardly and are difficult to reference. Another sore point is how absolutely boring some of the presenters are. You'll find more cheer in a graveyard.

Next time, think about the people you're teaching to. I don't understand how this course went out as is.

Not a very good course. The materials lacked alot of structure and sense. Quizzes didn't really match with materials. I would have liked more case materials and projects to make my time worthwhile. Presentations were so dull and boring. Repetitive and wasn't covered in the quizzes. Quizzes were unnecessarily hard. I did not enjoy this course. Would give it a zero if I could.

Information was useful, but the assessments were terrible- the worst designed assessment of any course I have taken so far. As an educator myself who is heavily involved in standardized testing, you do not use "Select ALL" MCQ choices in your questions- this is ambiguous and does not promote learning. The instructors really need to work on improving this course!

For a course on instructional design, I found this course to be very poorly designed. The lectures were not at all interactive and many of the videos seemed to be based on reading definitions off a powerpoint. I was disappointed by this because I've taken many other interesting and high-quality courses on Coursera. I would not recommend this one.

This is a course on how to do instructional design, but it really should be considered as a course on what NOT to do. Don't include long video lectures. Make your assessments match your content. This is absolutely horribly put together.

Worst class I have taken. Excruciatingly boring except for the lady from South America and the man who talked about PM and SMEs. The quizzes were way too difficult. Why can't you make this course good like the MBA class?

For a course teaching about instructional design, it is poorly designed. Especially from the assessments point. Content fill the requirements but not great.

The lectures are incredibly dry and difficult to sustain interest. I find it ironic that a course on design and instruction could be so unengaging.
