Great into to Java, instructors have clearly put thought in to the format with the choose your own learning style videos, and additional coverage where it may be needed. These have been very helpful.
I loved this course! The course videos and the projects sharpened my idea about some of the toughest concepts of Java and OOP. I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning OOP in Java. ☺

•The lectures were too wordy and the lecturers tripped over their words too often (which wouldn't have made it so difficult to listen if the lectures hadn't been so wordy!). There was too much focus on high-level details of the course project and too little attention paid to technical details. This rendered the lectures simplistic, boring, and sometimes a waste of time. This felt like an introductory level course, made more difficult through poor teaching.
Also, the slick web interface was slightly difficult to navigate in comparison to other Coursera courses.

•One suggestion i give to you that, please level of difficulty increase in a way that the learner not face to much thing in a single assignment. So, create assignment like that learner learn less thing but accurately. For example in this assignment you only build a relations between classes and marker on a map for only CityMarkerMap.java class and in the next module you implement LandMarker.java and so on. So, please this is my request in the future make assignments in a way that the Learner less thing but efficiently and accurately.

•While the material is relevant, the exercises required too much specific knowledge that was not discussed in lecture. For an experienced programmer, most of the exercises were easy, but I admit I had to look ahead on two of the projects because the instructions were too lacking. The final project was too open ended and made me not want to finish this course.
Overall, I would not recommend this course.

•Difficult to follow. Not as good as the Duke University courses where the professors explain in great depth, and detail. The good about the course is that they do give you the recourses to learn Object Oriented Programming in Java

•Would have been great seven years ago...but the course requires you to use Java Applets, which are discontinued with good reason. This means running Java 8, which can create numerous further errors for most editors.

•If you think this is an introduction to Java programming language you are wrong.What do you want? Do you want teach us to use Processing or teach us to program in Java?
By Farhan H P
•This course is very hard to follow, you are not building the program from scratch. But instead they force you to learn Processing module independently by yourself
By PATLOLLA S R
•They taught the outdated module (i.e)PApplet which is included till java8 version ,from later version that module was not included in java software(like java12).
By Nikolay K
•Almost useless course. The lessons have nothing in connection to assignments. Waste of time.
By Javier P
•You are teaching with java JDK 8, which is completely obsolete and out of date.

•Too much complicated and high level at an intermediate level
By Morteza T
•This course is too basic and appropriate for the beginners.
By DEVESH S
•Course content is limited, all OOP topics are not covered
By Swati J
•The peer review assignment part is really
useless.
By Pratham M
•Course not updated to latest standards.
By Mohamed M
•in the beginning of the course i thought i'll get a good experience as usual on coursera, but i was wrong ...
a lot of things >> to be introduced in next course
confusing data types & working with things i don't know about it.
you've said that, anyone with basics of programming could pass this course and after 6 months i couldn't.
please be sure about the prerequisites next time.

•I was trying to install the outdated JDK 1.8 that this course forces me to use, spend 4 days, learnt nothing. Do not recommend.

•Most of the videos and software in this course are outdated so it is very difficult to get older versions of applet to work
By Apex P
•Outdated material, horrible IDE setup. Took longer debugging their libraries than debugging my own code
By Akshit M
•The project in this courses uses JAVA applet which is a very outdated java GUI framework.
By TANISHTHA
•The course does not properly explain few things and makes it really confusing for us.
By Jacob
•Outdated, unable to use sample/target code with latest JDK, or even previous JDK.

•starting from week2 the way of explaining the materials isnt good
