This is a course full of definitions and some practice exercises involving python. There were some bugs in the exercises but, not a big deal. The instructors were very responsive and helpful. I really enjoyed learning about the software engineering careers in week 5.

I enjoyed this course and it made me gain more interest to want to learn more so I can execute in this career field. Except that i could not view the backend lecture in one of the video modules. i have been emailing the coursera team and still got no help.

El curso esta bastante bueno. Lo que me juega en contra es el no entender ingles.

Traduzco todo online pero muchas veces no entiendo expresiones o conceptos, por eso mismo trato de mirar video tutoriales en español en paralelo al curso.

Pauses are needed when transitioning to different topics.. at times I guess we students get confused when does a sub topic start within the video and when does it end

The course content is well done. Sound and animation at start and end of every video is unnecessary
