TOP REVIEWS FROM SOFTWARE PROCESSES AND AGILE PRACTICES
The course is very helpful for me in understanding agile practices. So many software methodologies were discussed in the course. Thank you University of Alberta and Coursera.
The course is highly interactive...i like the concept of giving questions based on the the information learnt in that particular video...I personally like the instructors teaching methods ....
Good course. Information is concise and well structured. I have completed the assignments spending approximately 1.5 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
This is a very good course. Bradley and Morgan explain the concepts very well. Bradley starts with analogy makes the course interesting from start. Morgan also explain Agile in very good way.
