A very basic course to start off the game design career. Great if you want to start right from the ground stage and make your way up! Complex concepts broken down and put ever so simply! Try it out!

students who do not evaluate the work and do not leave comments really spoil the impression of the course

A quite simple beginning, might end up being a little bit too simple. The future looks promising, though!

It was ok for what it was. It is a very brief introduction. Fun teacher, but very limited information.

Good introduction course. Perhaps a bit light on material... reviews from others are very helpful!

very simple, only some basics and a lot of "water" material. I don't see reasons to pay for this

Very little content. Most of the value comes from working on games for the assignments.

This course, though fun, was not intensive at all. The main issue I have is probably with the Coursera structure itself. Many of your homework assignments are based off of if people can understand the instructions of the game- which, if you have mostly non-English speakers, sort of takes the homework from being "be creative and challenge yourself" to "make sure everything you write down is 3 words max or else the people GRADING you won't understand it". This is also true when looking at these students' games- when half of your grade depends on your clarity, these kids are ultimately at a disadvantage. I'm sure there were amazing games made by some of the non-English speaking students, but I wasn't able to understand and play many of them. It is fantastic that Coursera is open to everyone, but when your grades are based off of clarity of language, it gets tricky.

I'm sure this course will work for some people, but beware that there are people who speak different languages in the course, leading to unfair assessments. I've been given 0s in response to my language as if it's my fault and I can't understand their suggestions since it's in a different language. Would be better if there were language settings or something to prevent language barriers affecting scores, but as it stands I don't recommend this course unless you're willing to put up with it.

The material and the classes are very good, but the assignments reviews (peer-review based) are very flawed. The system allows peers to submit non standard files and to write whatever they want. We are required to review at least 3 assignments, but we only receive 2 reviews and 80% of those 2 are nonsense feedback or just say 'good'. It is very disappointing to commit to the assignments, and give serious and constructive reviews, but then receive gibberish feedback from your work.

The course material is great, but the review system slows the course to a crawl. Waiting for other students to review your work - or worse, waiting for other students to submit work that you must review before moving on - is just miserable.

The lectures tend to be a bit boring. However the hands on assignments give great insight into understanding the basic concepts of game design and narration.

could use some Indepth explanation in the tutorials and also give bit more clarity
