I have completed quite a few courses on Coursera. This is by far the best instructor. I really hope David is going to do teach another Coursera course soon - I will sign up regardless of the content!

The class did not feel like an introductory course and was very difficult to complete the assignments in the allotted timeframes so it was a constant crunch to beat the clock. I also did not feel like the answers were thoroughly explained at times and required outside research to figure them out.

There is content on the quizzes that is not covered in the course. Quite a bit of prior knowledge is assumed. I had to do outside reading to prepare for the quiz. Frustrating and discouraging!

This wasn't for me. The pace was either too slow and way below what I needed or when areas were on topic, they still didn't make sense.
