The training was excellent with good interaction. Knowledge sharing is good. The recording facility is excellent for revising. The course was a practical and informative experience

This was the second course in the specialization, and I could get a good amount of knowledge on the Arduino circuit and could go baby steps into programming into the next course

I'd like to point out an important issue. The question is whether purchasing Arduino hardware is mandatory to complete the course. To get straight to the point, unless you engage in some kind of dishonest behavior, it is impossible to complete this course without purchasing Arduino hardware. The course materials mention that you can learn using an online Arduino simulator without the hardware, but in Module 1, there is a peer-reviewed assignment that requires you to submit a screenshot showing the completion of compilation and uploading in the Arduino IDE, which cannot be done with a simulator. I purchased an Arduino starter kit, so I had no problem completing the assignment, but the task itself is entirely pointless. The instructor, as with the Go language course, overuses peer-reviewed assignments for trivial matters. I'm now concerned whether the purchase of hardware will also be mandatory in the upcoming Raspberry Pi course. The Raspberry Pi is significantly more expensive than Arduino. While I am satisfied with purchasing the Arduino, I have doubts about whether the content of this specialization justifies the cost of purchasing a Raspberry Pi.

This course is easy to some extend. At the end you have an assignment that will ask you to do something that you are not explained directly how to do it. If you did not do some experiment on your own, then it may me a bit hard.
The course is one way. You watch videos, do readings and do the tests. There is no way to make questions, and there is no forum. So you can't not learn from other people experiences. This may be good for some people. But I rather expend more time reading comments on forum and learn more.
The course is useful if you have some minimal background and you want to make sure you cover from A-Z.

It was a good course, I wished more courses about Arduino and examples of what we can do with the platform in real life applications. Arduino seems more accessible that raspberry pi, in terms of price (I believe I cannot complete the course about this particular platform), the software (myself I have trouble with Linux, perhaps due to my low level of knowledge), in Arduino I used mostly the 123d simulator, which helped me a lot. I am grateful to Prof. Harris, the Coursera team and the California University.

I found this to be very useful in getting started with both C and the Arduino - neither of which I've studied/used before. I felt the lectures were well delivered and the videos of the Arduino board and circuit helped me to connect components correctly. I suspect some of the problems I experienced in submitting my projects might be resolved through some more detailed advice within the course notes. I'm looking forward very much to the companion course involving interfacing with the Arduino.
