This course is extremely helpful and I specially loved the power management part in Week 5

Video lectures are really bored, bad presented and almost useless. Most (if not all) of the useful content is presented in sections called web tours which are collections of websites were one can find information about the specific topic of a lesson. But many of the websites are bad organized, difficult to read/navigate or simply outdated. The course should be called Web Resources About IoT. I forced myself to keep going for two weeks/modules before I decided to buy a good book and take a more specific course like the one about Real-Time Systems

Reading content is more.Why would we pay to read content instructor must read himself and then explain in video this is why we are on coursera.Else wikipedia serve the purpose. Coursera must look into quality of some courses. #Coursera

There are too many reading materials instead of teaching and practicing... Although I passed all the quizes, I felt like this was teaching myself. The subtitles of the videos are not synchronized.

I had a great learning curve. Overview on various concepts was given, which helped me put a lot of new terms strongly into my mind

Course contain excellent Resources like Research papers for better and realistic understanding of concepts for every topic. Some of the resource links are expired do check them.

This course contains some good information to get started with in IoT space, but it would have been way better if the creators would have taken the time to incorporate the vast knowledge in the course and not just link to a whole bunch of random articles and reads. In that case it could have been a complete spezialization on its own in IoT development (Power usage, protocols, security, OS, debugging, etc.)

many links for further reading don't work

Mistakes on quizzes

Coursera (Architecting Smart IOT Devices ) given new life to me

I will try for the job

Sometime around 2015 this was a great course to get started in IoT. Unfortunately, it has been allowed to lapse greatly. Many of the reading-material links are no longer functional in various ways. Some of the referenced hardware is obsolete. Some companies referenced have been bought by other companies, etc. There is little mention of LoRa as an example, until near the end, leading me to believe the final section is a little more recent. Having gotten a couple of weeks into this course I actually began to wonder if the IoT buzzword had gotten left behind or just gotten extremely unpopular as a new learning avenue. There are of course still many other open means of learning about the field, but when external sites are pointing to this course as a good way to learn, it makes one wonder. I recommend that if you take this course, keep your eye on the dates of every piece of material you see in it, and don't take very much of it as the state of the art. Do take much of the theoretical or basic materials seriously, as it is very solid. Even then, as you always should, look for newer materials extending what you read.

Pro: Fundamental approach to IoT-specific problems, the course will certainly teach you something new. In general, the course follows industry paradigm and doesnt' fall into oversimplifying (Arduino and DIY staff). Cons: Much of the links are outdated, recommended hardware is no longer available for purchase (TI SensorTag), tests contain errors.

The course contents were very good and the course was well delivered by the Professors. The course outlines some of the problems we Architects face across the embedded systems industry and I had learnt a lot about how much more care needs to be taken when defining an IoT device architecture.

Very good introductory course into the field of embedded systems. I would recommend this course to anyone who is willing to step into the field of IoT. The course offers a wealth of resources for individual study in a very systematic manner.

I am very thankful to coursera for their great financial initiative. It helped me alot as i have learnt alot of new skills from this course which ultimately boost-up my confidence in internet of things research

This course provide a lot of references, it is well organized, although maybe you will need more to do it than the time estimated.

Excellent review in every aspect of IoT ecosystem, from the processor to the cloud.

Optional resources was very huge and heavy, But course was very perfect.

Very good coverage. Good amount of details in the Curriculam.

code was well structure and the quizzes was hard to clear.

Good course overall for Internet of things IoT Dvices .
