Great course, the professor explains with excellent examples and the exercises really reinforce the material and are challenging. Thank you for offering this great courses from excellent universities.

I have completed quite a few courses on Coursera. This is by far the best instructor. I really hope David is going to do teach another Coursera course soon - I will sign up regardless of the content!

I passed Calc 1 & 2 in college, but that was many years (and lost brain cells) ago. Overall, I think the curriculum is well structured and organized. Great alignment between setting of expectations and content. Fwiw, I had little trouble with concepts of Calculus. The required knowledge and skills in algebraic manipulation, however, found me often spending quite a few hours watching YouTube videos to relearn the, "basics."
The primary reason I took this course was because my memory of Calculus in college is one of rote learning: i.e., a hurdled gateway to the Econ, Stat's and Econometrics courses I took en route to my BA in Econ. I truly enjoyed the much better understanding I gained this time around of the connectivity between Geometry, Trig and Calculus. It all just makes so much more sense now.
I am very grateful to have had this opportunity to relearn the foundationsl elements of Calculus just for the sake of wanting to learn - and understand.

The videos are well-designed, fun, easy to follow. The lecturer is a nice person, his voice is clear, and he will assist you throughout the course in the discussion forum. The assignments are challenging enough to help memorize the concept. Highly recommend for those who want to understand more about Calculus However, I would suggest increasing the volume of the videos because some are too low to hear. Because there's no option to subtract 0.5 star so I just went and subtracted 1 star. The technical comes from Coursera platform as the subtitles cover most of the slide content. This becomes extremely hard for non-native speaker like me to follow the course.

I took this course for the purpose of reviewing Calculus since the last time I was enrolled in calculus was 16 years ago. I chose not to watch many lectures since the reading material appeared to reflect the same contect as the lectures. The reading was sufficient for me--however I would have liked more challenging material as the reading/practice quiz (homework) was nearly identical (with different values) compared to the quizzes. I'm glad to know that I remembered more than I anticipated, but I will have to supplement this course to ensure a more thorough understanding of Calculus.

Highly recommend this course for those looking to boost their understanding in calculus. The concepts are well-explained and the examples gradually build up in difficulty. The pacing is rather fast, so being able to catch up can be quite challenging, but manageable nevertheless. The instructor is the most engaging and enthusiastic I've had so far, and the visual representations are helpful. Overall, this is an excellent introductory course in calculus.

I enjoy this course a lot it let me review my previous knowledge on calculus as well as learning more details about integrals and limits. The course pace was perfect and the provided material cover everything supported precisely. However, I believe the length of the material for each week was too high. It could be extended for more ease.
Keep up the good job and thank for your services.

This course was very comprehensive and gave a great intro and basis for calculus. One downside I had was the instructor sometimes was a little fast but, he would give a warning before speeding up. Other than this, the course really helped me improve and hone my algebraic thinking and problem solving as well as give me a basis to go off of in the field of calculus.

Material was hard after the third module and higher for a sophomore student in high school. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the course and David was a very good instructor. With all the video lectures and the notes accompanying the video lectures, I was able to retain a good portion of the material.

Very informative course and fast replies on the thread (FAQ) page. However, I would've preferred if 'sign diagrams' were explained more thoroughly, I didn't quite understand it fully. Anyways, overall a great course to undertake.

Well presented. I liked the lectures . Notes very helpful. The only 'complaint' I have is that there were too many practice questions and when I got one wrong there was no way to tell how to get the correct answer.

good course for those who want to refresh their skills in calculus. Although some part are more theoretical than daily use, it has tons of question which are considered worthwhile and carefully crafted.

Sehr guter Kurs, der gerade für Einsteiger gut geeignet ist, ich machte ihn mit jetzigen 15 Jahren und er war für mich tatsächlich zu einfach, aber da habe ich wohl Introduction unterschätz.

Part of the questions are not included in the UFSP course so it is hard for student to pass the course. However, the questions are really good and can prove the real ability of the student.

Perfectly good for beginners that want to get introduced- but lacks rigorism about some subjetcs. Regardless of that, as said before, very good introductory course, and i recommend it.

A great course all around. The final week seemed much more rushed than the first four and so harder to grasp from the course material alone, but definitely worth it overall.

Great course, although there was some inconsistency between lectures, notes, and quizzes. I would have enjoyed it more if the three aspects aligned more closely.

The first 2-3 weeks are nice. However, after that course seems to go beyond Precalculus, which is a little bit difficult for a beginner.

Taught well, however I think they should do different courses for each degree as a lot of this I do not see being applicable in my degree.

wish the video showed more of what the mathematical characters meant, sucked to search for so long through the reading aspect

Very nice course. It was a refresher of high school maths. I would prefer more exercises and increased difficulty.

The course is good, but sometimes I have trouble reading the text on the presentation since it's all hand-written.
