I'm an experienced software engineer, and I'm pleasantly surprised how great this course is at removing the unnecessary parts to present what is needed to work as an engineer in an organization

Overall best course and the way instructors teach or engaged us is literally well and good every single concept is clear from basic, and assignments are also good for practice. Quality course.

I think this was a good course in javascript. You can obviously get more learning with JavaScript by making more projects, but I feel like the purpose of this course was to lay a good foundation to then make applications with JavaScript. I also encountered one test where the results just graded my test incorrectly, I went to the video and answered what the instructor said word for word and it was still wrong, but this thankfully only happened once.

There were and still are a LOT of issues with this course, including but not limited to: Grammatical errors, Grading errors, Clarification errors (Unclear questions/tasks), and some outright wrong or missing pieces in the course. If you really want, it does help a lot and you can REALLY learn, but it can get infuriating when you do everything correct and still get a failing grade due to a single Space " ".

The programming assignments need to be improved. Instead of providing a readme file, the assignment should be interactive. Or the sentence structure and wording of the assignments tasks needs to be improved to help students write better code. I spent a lot of time debugging why the tests were not passing and it was because of unfamiliar debugging sentence and structure used in the readme file.

It was a comprehensive beginner introduction to Javascript. I enjoyed the content very much although I do have to take a star away for some of the quiz questions answers accepting the wrong answer and one question that had an outdated answer. Please go and fix these, they are confusing and annoying. Other than that, I highly recommend this course as a great introduction to JS.

The course covers basic JavaScript and its concept enough for you to apply its features for your uses. Moreover, they have introduced basic concepts of testing with Jest, and that's a great thing to know for further development in a real working environment. However, because the course has just covered the basics, you must self-discover more of JavaScript's other features.

It is a very good course for a beginner who is starting to learn javaScript and after completing this course you will have the foundation of building interactive user interfaces and then you can explore how to do that on the internet. It would have been more better if they include assignments such as making a website interactive in the final graded assignment.

it was a very good course and I discovered several concepts, but the grading system is so faulty it can't recognize the code that I wrote unless it is written in a way that it understand it, like good formatting and literal spaces between the console.log strings and variables. I think they must enhance this system as it is causing a lot of frustration!

This course teaches you JavaScript from scratch and best for beginners. But this course simply does not provide enough coding problems and challenges or programming assignments in Javascript to test your creativity. Some errors in grading assignments are also there. But overall, this course is best to learn the basics if you are new to this like me.

Course is good, but in the study material there are many spelling mistakes and also even some of the questions in the graded quizzes are wrong. Even if I select correct answer, the system says they are wrong, try checking again and correct them, due to this mistakes, we are not able to get full grades, that is 100%, so fix them and make it right.

The course is well structured and comprehensive. My only feedback is that a lot of times on the assignments the purpose is to reproduce the task with the exact same knowledge and skills you acquired in the modules. Sometimes different ways of writing the code, even though correct, were not graded as successful if different of what was expected.

Excellent course, with lots and lots and lots of information to be learned, at times challenging almost solely because the auto grader for code is absolutely awful, and makes it nigh impossible to tell what you did wrong even when your output is the exact same as what it says it should be. Besides that frustration, it is quite a good course.

This course on JavaScript is simply outstanding! 🤩 It provides a comprehensive understanding of the core concepts that form the building blocks of JS. The course materials and videos are impeccably organized, making learning a breeze. However, there are some minor issues with the lab assignment submission process that could be improved.

This course was overall good and easy to follow, providing a foundation to learn JavaScript. However, it could have delved deeper into certain topics to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Nonetheless, it was a valuable learning experience for beginners seeking an accessible introduction to JavaScript.

what a great course.

I learned so much, but maybe... the coursera graded assignments do not work perfectly..

many many times I struggled to pass the assignment even though there were no mistakes at all,

only the formatting style was not good for the compiler so I got many 0/100...

but teacher were great, very good explanations

Excellent course.

The only flaw is in the programming exercises it marks some correct solutions as wrong.

Sometimes following the instructions would lead to the solution to be marked as "wrong" and I had to use methods other than the instructed ones in order for the test to pass.

This is unacceptable and should be fixed.

Great course. The lessons, the readings, and the exercises are clear, easy to follow, very informative, and useful. But there are troubles with assessments, especially in 4 and 5 weeks, - they have a lot of mistakes and situations when it is required to give acceptable (even wrong) answers for getting max result.

Although some things which pop up on tests are not addressed in the lessons, this is a very good course for someone with at least some experience coding. For an absolute beginner, I could see this being fairly confusing. I was happy that it was somewhat advanced as I have been using Javascript for over 5 years.

Could be a little more advanced. The topics covered are too entry-level and lacks depth, I wished it spent a lot more time on DOM manipulation and testing since they are the most important lessons here. The course spends too much time on basic programming principle instead of programming with JavaScript.

Course was a very useful introduction to JavaScript, with a ton of relevant coding opportunities and examples. Not a 5 star because of the difficulties with the auto-grader. If the tests could be a bit more lenient to accept different programming techniques, that would help a lot.

Amazing content at a fast pace, unfortunately the grading system needs to be re-looked at in order to be 5 stars. If you get stuck, and believe you are correct there is no way to confer with a developer about why you got a fail on an assignment. Overall great course however!

does a good job at introducing concepts but i felt like the programming assignments did not challenge us enough, the assignments were too basic. Maybe they should add optional programming assignments that are tougher so that we can hone in on our newly acquired js skills.

Course is of very high quality and is amazing for in depth learning and understanding of JS however within the content there are a few mistakes. Additionally, sometimes the way the assignments are graded are a bit unfair (e.g you can miss out a space and get marked down)

OOP could have been more detailed. also more content is in readings instead of videos. I think it should be vise-versa as videos feed you with more knowledge in less time. This course is great for learning for beginners but does not have much for experts/intermediates

Excellent part on introduction to testing (with Jest)! Very clear and fun to make. Challenge may not be challenging enough though. The oop part is very concise but may be hard for newcomers to OOP, but it's perfect for a refresher if you already knows the OOP concepts

This course gave me good baseline knowledge on Javascript to help in my daily adventures. It really helped bridge constructors, and syntax to allow me to not only read the javascript that I'm interacting with, but to be able to create my own unique functions as well!
