I'm an experienced software engineer, and I'm pleasantly surprised how great this course is at removing the unnecessary parts to present what is needed to work as an engineer in an organization

Overall best course and the way instructors teach or engaged us is literally well and good every single concept is clear from basic, and assignments are also good for practice. Quality course.

I had to give many attempts to clear the graded assessment though all the conditions and coding wad correct. I coursera purposefully makes multiple attempts even if everything is right. This was a waste of time for me, writing the same code again and again and testing and submitting it for 100 times.

while the course topics are really diverse.. in my opinion more attention was needed on topics related to modules, testing, classes and methods, event listeners which were just skimmed very quickly as opposed to declaring variable, loops and conditional statements etc. which are easier to grasp .

It has lot of good stuff but unfortunately it's not in video format! I can easily view on any other website to read the same content. Also, there should be more programming labs. Lot of quiz have incorrect answers as well. It's a good entry-level course but could be better.

I found tis to be very challenging and I often dreaded that fact that I hadnt anyone to inquire and seek understanding from. Im definitely will have to study more in my personal time to feel super confindent in this language.

It includes more theory and less coding. we need more coding so that we understand more easily. Besides this, some topics are not in much detail. Weeks 1, 2, and 3 are good but weeks 4, and 5 need some more detailed content

Good coverage of topics, but explanations lack depth and many topics are covered a bit hastily and superficial. There is one assignment where the auto grader seems broken, which is very frustrating.

Tests' and other instructions are hard to understand especially the extra jargons. I wish instructors were to use further simplified english for participants who are new to coding .

Good for start, but mostly a lot of bla-bla and less practice. The course will give you some knowledge but again without practice you forget a half of what you have just watched

Too many new concepts for such a short time. I do not think it is possible to someone with no previous experience in programming to complete the course within the alloted time.

Boring. Really weird definitions of "functional" programming. A lot of useless content that doesn't really add any value to those interested in learning FE.

Sometimes they do not explain the thing clearly and I was really confused when I had to write a test. This course is good but still need improvement

Can be overwhelming and hard to understand as a beginner, you might find Youtube and other resources helpful alongside.

The evaluations of the projects are awful, I've been trying to pass many times and yet I don't know where's the error.

I thought this was a really difficult section. They threw a lot of information in especially in week 3.

The "Arrays and Object Iteration" assignment was too finicky and the feedback for it was bad.

This course has been particularly hard for me to get through because it skips information between classes. You go from getting a small, basic introduction to something to the next lesson being 10 steps ahead. It forces me to leave the site and move to a different platform to learn what was missed in the previous video. That leaves me unmotivated to stick to this course and I think I might have to leave the course entirely because I am struggling to learn when there are gaps of information in between every session.

"I'm disappointed with this web development course, giving it a 2-star rating. The abundance of bugs, particularly in week 4's module quiz, is frustrating; correct answers are marked wrong. Despite multiple reports over 6 months, these issues remain unresolved. Furthermore, crucial topics are inadequately explained, falling short of real-life application. It's marketed as beginner-friendly, but lacks depth and examples, making it unsuitable for true beginners."
