well good course to get you started in coding with all basics and also for revision when you get rusty in coding
In the new world we live in, coding is a universally valuable skill, whether you're a scientist, artist, or a humanist. Algorithms are everywhere, and we all have to understand how they work. The C language is particularly well suited as an introduction to coding: It's a tried-and-true language, and it allows you to understand computing processes at a deep level. You will also get an introduction to more advanced programming in C++ in the final module.
This is a continuation of C for Everyone: Fundamentals, which you should take before beginning this course. The time estimated time commitment for this course is five hours a week for five weeks.

you need little bit of background of language C or you will be confused, course is great and great teacher.
SS
this course is amazing for beginners. I completed this course and earn amazing knowledge and experience
MB
A very detailed course, thoroughly loved it Professor Ira Pohl is a wonderful teacher. Damn I love him. I'm gonna move onto C++ now, time to really up the ante

Its good course but there is 1 problem. There are too many plagiators just cheating through this course. I got probably 1 proper assignment out of 5. Rest was copy-paste from internet.

Thorough introduction to C. Good course. Great professor. I look forward to doing work in his next course.
NG
Very Good course. I will recommend everyone to learn this course, as it is easy to understand and easy to implement.
NP
Nicely structured. Quiz questions were sometimes ambiguously worded. Links to followups for deeper study would be helpful. Hons assignments were great.

The instructor Teaches us very well but my problems on the forum yet remains unsolved....kindly look into this matter....

Over the past 2 years I have been using Python. To get an understanding of C I did this course, which gave me the basics of C and C++.
EC
Difficult but teaches you what you need to know. It took me a month to complete one of the assignments but it takes hard work to learn.
TF
Great course, Very informative,Complex computer science ideas are explained in a very intuitive way by an experienced teacher. Would recommend!

This is a sincere review, I don't want to cause any harm, if the negative points placed here could be eliminated, this course would be just wonderful. Nobody can deny that Prof. Ira Pohl knows a lot of C. His book is fantastic, That's why we expect so much about this course. And that's why is sometimes disappointing. This could be a 5 stars course but it isn't. So be prepared : 1 - Even if you took course 1 , this will be tough. 2- If we could interact somehow with prof. Ira that would return a fantastic knowledge, The only interaction with him is watch the videos. 3- Somebody has to help prof. Ira, he seems a bit lost in the videos, which probably were recorded at his house or at his office desk, the slides ( if we can call that slides) are hand written and very difficult to understand. I bet that record him in front a blackboard would be more productive. 4- The forums are completely waste of time, it's a nobody's land. The only thing that you gonna find there is : "Pls review my assignment that I'll review yours" and there are hundreds of it ( not joking !). 5- Peer review is terrible. A lot of people just submitting empty or anything to have access to other assignments that really compiles and work. The result is that sometimes you catch 4, 5 codes exactly the same and you can't guess who copied who, this is forbidden but a lot of people are just ignoring and copying. So, if you are a diligent student and don't care about these thing and all you want to do is learning ,for real, you probably would have some success but all by yourself. You'll have to have C books to consulting and google to search for concepts. You'll end up learning , but through the hard way. It's a shame because there is so much of experience that prof. Ira could pass, but you know, sometime it's not like the way we think. It's up to you to decide.

Great course,
Very informative,
Complex computer science ideas are explained in a very intuitive way by an experienced teacher. Would recommend!
The course is a bit unorganized. There were many times where videos are out of order, or referenced a video/lesson that was never posted. The assignments were never posted on the "Instructions" tab; they are posted in the "My Submission" tab, which makes no sense. Dr. Pohl knows his stuff and I feel confident in that, however we need typed notes. His handwritting can be hard to read at times. Finally, this isn't part of the course but the peer review process is unfair at times. 1 bad review can lead to a failure in the assignment. I had that happen multiple times, then reposted the SAME submission and got full marks. This needs to be reviewed by a TA of some sort if possible.
Code upload (tasks) doesn't work. Honor tasks completed, but not rated because the major part of the participants - guys from India and their English too poor to uinderstand the task and rate another participants.
The course provides a good foundation. I learned a lot and it refreshed my memory on programming concepts I had forgotten in the past few years. However, the course could use some "cleaning-up." There are some videos out-of-order or even missing that are referred to in other videos. Sometimes the assignments and quizzes don't seem to align with the topics as closely as they should.
instructor doesn't explain well
A GOOD PLATFORM TO LEARN
It's a good course for beginners, I expected a bit more from the course seeing the things which are going to be taught. I'll recommend watching all the videos in 1.5x or 2x :P
Poor handwriting by the professor makes reading the content a difficult task.
Thanks Prof. Ira for wonderful lectures and giving the insightful knowledge "Structured Programming"
This course is very helpful ,written in very systematic way and easily understandable.
This course was very useful for my in improving my skills in the c programming.
This course has been taught interestingly. Helped me to learn new concepts.
Very Good Course for those who want to study C programming in detail
Very good course to improve grt algorithm.Definitely recommend.
Journey from C fundamental to introduction of c++ was amazing.
Very useful and interesting course! Thanks a lot, Ira Pohl!
That was a really good resource to practice your skills.
it is the best oppurtunity to learn different courses
