coordination is required between the lectures and the assignments so a to fill any gaps

Considering the contents of the second and third course, this was too basic.

Very confusing course for those who have no previous experience in Java.

pretty good but expected more of helping writing own programs

Not a difficult course but teaches you much about Java.

Decent Introductory course for someone who is a newbie.

The explaining part could have been better.

If you are a beginner in OO not recommend .

uses older versions of java and eclipse

content is good but PApplet is outdated

Course is great ...well explained

Need upto date explaination

It could have been better.

Needs a bit of update.

Not that bad

Good course

Mediocre

good

ver

ok

Came from the predecessor specialization by Duke, which was really great. So I had high expectations for this course.

But this course introduces not much new (only some library using), no new programming concepts. I also didn't like the programming assignments (one "big" project). They were not challenging at all (much too easy), and also not really interesting (repetition and expansion of an assignment at Dukes). You are also not writing that much code, because you get too much from them, where you just have to add a little here and there.

Liked, that they divided the videos into different stages (core, concept challenge, when I struggled), so you only have to watch the videos, that you find necessary.

I hope the next course will be more interesting and challenging.

The course itself is great, but I highly discourage any further participation before:

1. TA's assistance became avaliable again. The forum is extremely poor in quality and it takes decades before you find information you need (if there is any).

2. The relevant knowledge is updated. The course is great, but some functions are obsolete.

3. The removal of peer revising stage. You don't really get revised, and you don't have anything to revise. It felt like a dead course where no one offer you help at this moment.

I'm not really seeking for a certificate - just reinforcing my knowledge here. I learnt great contents here, but it really doesn't provide much assistance in case of need.

The lectures were too wordy and the lecturers tripped over their words too often (which wouldn't have made it so difficult to listen if the lectures hadn't been so wordy!). There was too much focus on high-level details of the course project and too little attention paid to technical details. This rendered the lectures simplistic, boring, and sometimes a waste of time. This felt like an introductory level course, made more difficult through poor teaching.

Also, the slick web interface was slightly difficult to navigate in comparison to other Coursera courses.

One suggestion i give to you that, please level of difficulty increase in a way that the learner not face to much thing in a single assignment. So, create assignment like that learner learn less thing but accurately. For example in this assignment you only build a relations between classes and marker on a map for only CityMarkerMap.java class and in the next module you implement LandMarker.java and so on. So, please this is my request in the future make assignments in a way that the Learner less thing but efficiently and accurately.
