This Course was incredible. It was informative as well as very easy to handle. Complete details were provided at each level so that the students don't feel any sort of difficulty while learning.

This course surprised me in its applicability to software development. It is a great first course in establishing a foundation of programming before actually doing any programming itself.

That is very confusing without real world examples. Often in architecture it was just a useless slideshow of words for complex things.

Knowledge and information imparted in this course is great, but AI-made voice content is the worst way to learn.

Course feels like made with ChatGPT and voice generated with AI, I find more productive and educative courses with a dedicated profesor. Expert viewpoints videos also feel pointless and just a way to add more time to the course, sometimes the experts opinions are not focused on the topics that were just explained in previous videos, and instead speak of what they wanted to say about the tittle just introduced, speaking about technologies never mentioned before in the course.

Most of the vidoes where just reading slides , no explanation or elaboration being done , the entire course could be done in a day if it was only reading since these videos time in comparison to the knowledge provided is absurd !

I've never seen a course about anything, anywhere, as boring as this: It's basically a multiple hour powerpoint read out by a monotone generated voice. It's stultifying. Awful.

Waste of time, especially the final project. If you are already a SDE skip this certificate and just go to Udacity.
