There are 6 courses in this specialization . The first two are almost completely theoretical with little to no practical knowledge. Most of the theory is boring and unnecessary. After completing these two courses(one audited and one sponsored by my school) you will have to pay a huge amount for the remaining courses and since this course did not teach me much I chose to not continue pay to finish the specialization.

For an entry level course the C plus programming expectations jump considerably. While the quizzes and video lectures are helpful for understading both hardware and software, the final project doesn't seem to build on the I believed having basic familiarity with Arduino would help, but I was unable to complete the final project.

The teacher basically assumes you already know quite a bit, because he goes over the basics, but doesn't cover them in any detail. So if you're completely new to Arduinos, this course will not actually help

Not a bad introduction, but if you already know a bit about programming you can get the same basics and learn more quickly with a book.

It is good starting course but it needs to move out from the beggining bits with something more useful and less theoretical

Not much practical oriented. Theory teaching is very vague and not able to understand much.

No forum, no support, and in the end I don't feel prepared for the assignments.

Too simple and lack of practice exercises!

Little hands on Arduino. Very theoretical

Muito bom pena que não tem no meu idioma

not enough detail

So superficial

not so good

Good

In my honest opinion, 90% of this course content was totally irrelevant. The instructor focuses heavily on explaining stuff rather than how to do stuff. Furthermore, course title says "The arduino platform and C programming" but actually the course gives no sufficient attention to C nor arduino itself. Instead, it focused heavily on concepts that are not at all important to a programmer learning arduino and embedded systems in general such as UART, how data is sent serially and the steps towards creation of a hex file. In addition, no attention was given at all to actual arduino coding and not even a single relevant task was given.

The course is almost about nothing. It seems to me that the teacher didn't make enough preparations and make a lot of mistakes during the couse. After 8 weeks of Arduino-related courses I've got almost nothing new besides first 2 chapters of Arduino Starter Kit book.

A truly terrible introduction to C. If you can't already program in C, know the difference between C and C++ or even know why you shouldn't call it C/C++ then you will struggle.

All the information is free and better presented in other places. Avoid.

Deberían avisar que no se pueden subir para calificar los cuestionarios ni las tareas sin pagar. Esto en la semana 1, ya veremos si hay más sorpresas en las siguientes. Gracias.

All this peer grading nonsense is garbage. If we are gonna pay 63$ a month of something we can at least get the proper grading system included.

in this course we cannot learn more about the IOT only theory I think that I waste my money in this specialization

i can not take this course due to I have not the board for assignments and projects you will offer in the course.

No practical and hands-on knowledge, the course content is so less and very very limited. I learnt nothing at all

If I am auditing this class why can't the quizzes be free also?

What happened to free Coursera?
