It is a good course for people who want to know what is software engineering, what kind of role do you play as a software engineer, what kind of tools and skills you'll need and learn.

This course helps me in shifting my career towards Software Engineering as I am moving from core engineering to the tech career. I learnt a lot in this course. Thank you.

The content in the video modules were decent and the overall organization of the materials were fair. However, the quiz questions were extremely poorly worded - many questions did not have obvious definitive answers due to how poorly worded and vague they were structured. Additionally, the AI job search module was poor and frustrating. The AI module would rate down an answer, saying I should have said another specific answer instead. However, when I included that same specific answer on the next attempt, the module still rated that answer down.

A lot of poorly phrased questions. Much of the information is way too general. For example how programming syntax is explained from such a broad perspective, it is more difficult to understand then actually understanding programming. This intro course is good, if you're actually already familiar with programming as a means to buffer out your foundation, but if I was't already familiar I don't think much of this would have been useful (and it definitely wouldn't stick).

That is very confusing without real world examples. Often in architecture it was just a useless slideshow of words for complex things.

Knowledge and information imparted in this course is great, but AI-made voice content is the worst way to learn.

Most of the vidoes where just reading slides , no explanation or elaboration being done , the entire course could be done in a day if it was only reading since these videos time in comparison to the knowledge provided is absurd !

no real instructor. Better off with youtube. There is an automated voice and slides. Dont get caught up because it says IBM

Waste of time, especially the final project. If you are already a SDE skip this certificate and just go to Udacity.
