Very fun and engaging course. Allows you to interact with your peers and gain valuable feedback. The interviews were also very useful as they showed how concepts could be utilized in other fields.

At first, I was a littel apprehensive about taking an online webinar class. Not sure if I would receive the information I need. But this class was really good. I was able to obtain a better insight into programming structures and design. Each class was well laid out and easy to follow. There was one thing I found that was not so good and that was nagavting for the resources, project submissions, peer grading. The way it is laid out, Its difficult to locate if your not within the class structure. Having those links readily available form any location within the course I think, would be better. I had heard of Scratch before, but never ventured to find out about the platform. I was pleasantly surprised, I will be using it more now that I have been exposed to it....Thank you for the learning.

The course was highly informative, entertainingly presented and does not require an unreasonable amount of time to complete. It serves well as an introduction to programming, especially the two course projects, where the peer review system works well. The instructors and mentors show a commitment to helping students and improving the already well-run course. An unusual and welcome feature of this Coursera course is the immediate verification of one's typing. My only criticism is the lack of downloadable written/pdf material related to the course, although students who go on to learn programming languages will likely relearn much of the knowledge they gained here.
