I have never had a chance to study CS at the university so I am always looking for ways to improve my knowledge - to keep up with fellow programmers. And this course met my requirements perfectly. :)
This course was not easy, especially when you have zero knowledge on subject. But it is very helpful subject and will certainly be a plus for you career in software development.

•Tying the assignments to an Android Studio project was overkill; the same principles could have been demonstrated with a SIMPLE java application.

•Overall, a good course. The only (HUGE) drawback is that your assignments are being checked by students, who often have no clue what they are grading.

•Content is ok but doesn't go in detail and often just scratch the surface.
Exercises instead are quite poor. Many errors in the UML diagrams and code examples.

•this course really needs more explanation and going through details in order to be useful. I believe it is just a introduction to design patterns and you cannot learn design patterns by introduction
автор: Alexander D
•Poor peer-review system, lack of support from teachers in discussions

•The course is a really good introductory course for beginners to understand new concepts and for intermediates to refresh basic software design patterns and anti-patterns.

•The course was really recommended for a good kick start in design patterns and it would be more effective if you follow this course along with head first design patterns book

•This course provides the right skill set required to develop a maintainable, flexible and efficient software code using well defined software design principles and tested approaches. It effectively delivered all the concepts with useful examples. Looking forward to taking more courses from this specialization.

•The course was very interesting and provided a good basic knowledge about design patterns. - I had to study Design Patterns and Code Smells also with other resources, as the knowledge in the course is not very deep. But i'ts completely ok to have some inputs for further investigations.

•Amazing course. I've learned so much about not only design patterns, but also how to make code more usable, maintainable, and flexible as well. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in extending the capacities of how to write good well designed software.

•very nice practical and theoretical approach towards the subject.
Very well planned assignments.
Few of assignments were challenging, but the guided tutorial help them to understand and solve problems methodically.
I love this course.

•Great course, some of the patterns in GoF's book are covered in the course and some of the code smells are covered as well in a great way.
