Nice very basic theory but the assignments about the effects vs ease are a bit wobbly. Maybe it is a cultural thing or there is to much left to guess. It is no where near the leven of professionalism compared to other courses.

It is too basic even to call "a creative and critical thinking course".

Great course with good instructors, thanks to Coursera for this excellent initiative.
good little course for getting steps list to follow that we often skip
Thanks for a great course. I appreciate you.
Excellent explaination provided thanks a lot
While I appreciate the effort put into this course, I found it to be the least comprehensive of the four I've completed so far. The content tended to scratch the surface of the topics, and I often felt that the quiz questions were too vague, with multiple options seeming valid for problem-solving scenarios. It would be beneficial to include more detailed material and specific examples to guide learners toward the correct answers. Additionally, the course occasionally presented quiz questions before covering the related material, which could be challenging for those still familiarizing themselves with the concepts. More context and a clearer explanation of the logic behind the answers would enhance the learning experience. Overall, this course didn’t provide the depth and consistency I was hoping for, and I believe there is room for improvement in delivering more valuable and thorough content.
Very Informative and take aways will be useful
