I really enjoyed the course and learned many new things that i was not aware about. The instructors were helpful and easy to understand. Peer review assignments were very interesting to me. Thank you.

Very nice course that provides good insight on software development practices and common problems. It provides also some insights on project management, highlighting pros and cons of different models.

course is good actually, but the main problem is plagiarism issues, which is so terrific. i submit my works doing for my self , but i still get the issues of error. i don't know why this system was failed in detecting the real work vs copied work

Good material, but assignments were too easy, and most peers I had to peer review were either bots or entering nonsense submissions.

+ This Course itself is nice and quite inspiring.

- The biggest Problem is the Grading of the Assignments for Project Scenarios. Now I have take lots of Notice down in my Notebook during the Course and paid a lot of Time in writing the Scenario Analysis. But the peers who does the Review do not even understand the Standards of giving the Grade, they just do it blind, whatever I have written.

- I can also observe this Problem by reviewing the Assignments of the Others. I have reviewed 8 Assignments, and only one of them (1/8) is written seriously . The other 7 are either written with 'random Word Generator' or just 'Blank' with nothing.. Or even write the Assignment of Project A in the Project B..

- Now imagine These peers are reviewing your Assignment. There is no fun in get reviewed after a Hardwork, and they tell you that you only have 3 Chances.

I didn't find the specialization and this course in particular useful. It has low quality videos, unstructured information, and doesn't give enough knowledge to start working.

Also, the last course of the specialization requires background in programming, otherwise you will not be able to complete the specialization.

There was a lot of overlap on the videos in fact the incremental model video had the dictation of the wrong video. Someone who primarily relys in text to study the dictations were extremely frustrating at the minimum it should be broken into paragraphs

Confuse, lack important details. Peer review strangely setup. Testing covered in OK way but lacks any kind of real world examples, practices or code.

Quite disappointed in the quality of the course. The staff did not reply to comments in the discussion forum, there was no syllabus, at one point even links to youtube instead of creating their own content, and the quality of the assessments (especially the peer review ones) were quite poor. One criteria for a good rank was to write a "creative" story. Overall this course is nothing I would pay for.

This course needs to provide materials such as slides, and some of the quizzes throughout this course must not require 100% accurate to done, it should just about 90% is enough. It is agonizing when you just accidentally answer incorrectly 1 question, and you have to do the quiz again.

Instrustor's knowledge and ecplanation were extremely poor, he didn't lecture all the needs to answer quizes, or weekly test. Extremely disappointed by lack of professional education
