The course is well structured and focused on the front-end as is the idea of the whole web design track. However, for a person with no previous knowledge of basic programming, the assignments would be hardly possible to complete or would require far more hours. The course is strictly focused on JS UI and DOM and should be probably preceded by another course covering javascript basics.

I found this course more difficult than the others included in the specialization (html5, css, responsive design) ... during all the course on JS I had the impression that I was missing some basic elements to connect the things between them and make them function. Maybe the course should further explain some basics. I will most likely take another course to better understand JS.

of all the 3 courses in this specialization, I enjoyed this the most, as I think Dr Colleen, the course instructor does the most teaching here, and the assignments require us to apply what she has covered in the videos. She keeps encouraging us to code more, practise coding more. She can definitely help us by giving us mini coding challenges throughout the course for practice.

This course it's really about some generic basics that will help you understand the logic behind JS. There's a really small amount of guided exercises, so consider that you'll need to either study on your own or taking some integrative course to reach a basic level in JS.

This is a nice course, however I think that it's done too quick compared to HTML and CSS courses from the same University. For week 2 not enough of information were given for completing the assignment. Also I think that some things are not very well understandable.

This course is quite challenging for beginners. I tried to do the assignment, the code of the assignment are those that i've never learnt before..i only learnt in the forum. Please review so that learners won't be too stress out..Thanks for your kind attention.

I mean this course failed, not entirely but yeah. It doesn't completely showed what is JS? No doubt Colleen is best instructor so far I've come across but she clearly need to work on this particularly. It can be better.

Too basic, the tasks are pretty plain, course just scrapes the surface without giving any understanding of working with JS, the course "HTML,CSS and JS" by D. Rossiter provides a far better understanding.

A bit more HTML than JavaScript and the JavaScript that was discussed was only just barely scratching the surface. Still, I learned things I did not know and got a solid refresher on things I did. Thanks

Teacher's narrative is pretty clear, easy to follow. good for beginners.

But the course content is very simple, somewhat too simple for the course title, it only touches on very very basic of javascript.

I think that the Week 2, of this course should have been better explained. The home work for the week 2 is a bit detailed for what was shown for the week 2. Overall, I enjoyed doing the course.

The course was really great and understandable, in my point of view it would have been a bit more challenging, but still a great course, especially thank to Colleen and her great approach!!!

I think the content of this course could have been broken down into smaller chunks and scaffolded in a way that would help learners feel more solid in every step moving forward.

This course is a short introduction to JavaScript. Their is some useful information, that is very very interesting and easy to understand, but it is too little to understand JS.

It is a beautifull course for the beginners it gives you confidence by giving assignments however it could also have been more detailed for the people who want to dive deep.

Very very basic....needed lots of outside referencing to complete. Needs more material about parsing, semantics and syntactically correct language.

good basic course, seems to rush through things a little bit and a lot further reading/ study is needed to fully understand JavaScript.

There were quite a few typos during this course that made the learning process slightly more difficult than it should have been.

It was really basic (but 4 weeks - it`s really short period of time for such topic). I think HTML5 and CSS3 courses were better.

good courser for the beginners, right place to start, and begin where the course ends.

THANKS A LOT. especially thanks colleen

Class room study is good. More functionality of javascript along with intense programming examples could have implemented .

Expected more !there should be some project like thing in the course so someone shoukd feel like they have done something.

Very good for course for beginners in javascript. You need to have some familiarity though with programming in general.

It was easier for me to follow the lectures and code at the same time when I was doing the HTML and CSS3 courses.

This is a good fundamental course. Colleen is a great teacher and I like her unique teaching style and viewpoint.
