This is some really professional grade knowledge. I did not know that this course could have such a great impact on my ideology of design. This changed everything I think about design.

I was excited to learn about typography, these assignments were fun to do. I wished there were more assignments to create more posters for this typography course, overall I enjoyed and learned a lot.

The videos are objective, clear and interesting, I liked the extra sources too. The assignments have a good level for a introduction course. The peer reviews process are the only bad thing in fact about not only this course but in all coursera courses. Due the large number of people who doing the assignments, some people don't take it serious. While I was reading carefully my coleagues assigments and giving good an construtive feedback, I received poor qualitity reviews with short comentaries like "good", "no", "I like". I also got 0 in every single criteria in my last assignment from a study that clearly even did not opened my PDF. The peer reviews are definetily the most frustating part of the course.

I was disappointed by the lack of diverse representation of typeset designers. While I know the historical aspect is what it is, there were also a lot of current designers mentioned, and most mentioned were white men. This lack of diversity was extremely frustrating. Even in the assignments, not one typeset on the entire list was invented by a woman or gender nonconforming human, even though many of the typesets were created fairly recently. I learned so much - so otherwise I would have given a higher rating. It was just too obvious not to be distracting to me.

There should be an option to get a second round of opinion on peer reviews. Some users leave unreasonably low scores without leaving an explanation. Most times, users don't offer any feedback and just copy and paste random text off the internet.
Other than that the course was quite interesting. However, I would have appreciated a bit of a deeper coverage of general typography rules, as well as more structured notes and further reading material.

Everything went well there are plenty of amazing and mind opening ideas but i wish the typographic language was more easily explained and the assignments were simpler I struggled a bit with the work cause it took a while to understand . Thanks alot that had alot of new ideas

I learn that typography is much deeper than I thought but some of the theoretical explanations about how readable some typefaces are are subjective and it depends on each individual or what they are used to.

did not like peer graded way to grade the creative assignments - people have very different backgrounds and their feedback is sometimes pure nonsense as they miss the metaphors or lack some basic integrity
