While I think the course is perfect for the beginner, I think image, audio or order media handling should be included in the course. But I'm still giving a five stars. Well-done.

This was the most hard course that I have learned. The most coolest yhing is final project, where I made huge programme from scratch. But this is not the best course from Meta).

Necesita mantenimiento. Tiene muchas erratas. El contenido en sí está bien.

The video speaks very fluently, but the content doesn't sink in.

The pace of the course was too fast

This course contains a lot of information. Unfortunately, it was not organized like the previous Django course in this specification. I had to search and learn from other resources because the videos were short and lacked written details, especially when it came to the code. The lab instructions had a poor format and contained mistakes. Additionally, the final project had incorrect instructions and was missing many important details. To make matters worse, the instructor stopped providing a sandbox from the last lab to the final project, which made it even more inconvenient for students. Overall, the course material is good, but the organization of the course needs improvement.

While the content was extremely important for the role of a backend developer, the instruction felt lacking and did not culminate well in the final project. In order the complete the final project, students basically need to teach themselves all of the skills from other resources.

The final assignment is a mess, different specs were provided, and it's already a waste of time to do double versions of APIs to cover 2 different sets of endpoints. Apart from that, Coursera is absolutely a nightmare. I'm wasting literally days for nothing, just resubmitting the identical project which has all the APIs 100% working and fully tested, with a populated DB in support, and with an added txt in the zipped project to help go through all the 21 questions easily and quickly. But the 5 submissions made so far, so learners who properly gave 100%, and others who gave random 0s. Obviously the project is the same, so the distributions of idiotic 0s is a uniform distribution. The point is, the Customer Experience is a nightmare, all due to Coursera. Most of the students don't care at all about testing others, so it's absolutely unfair to get a score from idiots who give scores without testing. I deserve 100%. But Coursera is shit and is wasting all my time.

The course contains peer-graded assignments - even when 100% completed the course will stay incomplete and no certificate will be issued. Only when another student comes by and is in the mood to review your submission will the course be completed, which still did not happen for me or will never happen.
