Great course to learn the concepts of Software Designing and how it is used in real business scenarios. This course is indeed very helpful for aspiring product developers who aim to be an architect.

This course is brilliant! Through this course, I gradually lay solid foundation in Object-Oriented Design, as well as improve my programming skills. I'd like to recommend it to my peers!

Some inconsistencies in the assignments leading them to take longer than advertised, particularly the final capstone - see the discussion forums. I got out a lot out of the course as a refresher, but I would have struggled if I was a beginner. It feels like this was rushed out a little too early and could benefit from someone from outside the original team spending a week trying to do all the assignments.

Class involves creating a lot of UML diagrams for a given android app. This is a bit difficult if you're not familiar with how Android programs are structured. I could never get the app to build correctly - luckily, that wasn't needed for the first few assignments.
This course has some useful information about principles of good software design, but it wasn't really supported in homework assignments.

Great course if you are a beginner with UML diagrams, otherwise it's not that challenging. For this reason, the assignments can be a bit dull. Finally, installing and running the Android Studio project for the last capstone assignment requires a bit of troubleshooting from the student side, which is not really related with the course's topics

The subject is presented in a good way, the quality of the presentations is high. Unfortunately even if it is a beginner course, some topics are arguably correct. The quality of the capstone exercises / solutions is poor, there is room for improvement and I really hope that future iterations will address this problems.

Course teaches you some basics but it gets quite quickly over certain elements.
In a 7 minute/10 minute video you can't have a good understanding of the UML Sequence Diagram or UML State Diagram. I would have like to see more details on that part that could allow to do a better job at capstone projects.

Almost all video are entirely based on the course notes, but some extra examples make the worth watching. I learned a lot of concepts about OOD thanks to the easy and clear explanations in the course notes. I really disliked the android stuff, was really hard to complete the capstone projects.

Lessons give a large overview, but not enough information for completing the practical activities. Also the reading material does not have sufficient information on it. Concepts are presented individually, often without any comprehensive examples for practical use.

The course content is good. The presenter is good,too.
But the discussion forums need monitoring from the staff, as there were many questions with no answers. Some of these questions are crucial for student's understanding of the material.

you should update the content of the course, it's using old android and it will be better if you just use java as the prerequisite for the course is java not android and xml and all the distracting stuff

good material to refresh OOD but I think the Android project to practice its a bit too much and not sure if you really show that you understand design patterns.

The content is quite good, but the exercises rely on students working with Android Studio, and the exercise files provided don't work with the latest version.

Assignment 1.4 is off topic. It's more about an Android app than object-oriented design. The videos could do with a few animations. Otherwise a good course.

Purely peer reviewed grades, solutions don't always match lecture instructions.

Not really ideal for learning OOP fundamentals when Android studio is involved.

Too oriented towards Java, peer graded assigments are too many. Given code doesn't work easily for someone who has not experience with Android Studio.

The course is outdated and neglected. A lot of mistakes and inaccuracies, especially. Inconsistencies in the tasks with what was given in the lessons before. The requirements specify a basic knowledge of Java and a simple syntax comprehension test is conducted. But it actually provides legacy code for a specific environment. And in order to set up these legacy compatibilities and run the project, you need a fairly deep understanding of this particular environment. No help from teachers and community.

dull, it's better to have presenter who knows what he/she is talking about.
