Very nice course that provides good insight on software development practices and common problems. It provides also some insights on project management, highlighting pros and cons of different models.

I've been delivering software for nearly two decades and was very helpful to do a refresher on the basics, options and evolution of the space. Well presented and engaging delivery of the topics.

I found that courses 2 and 3 were better explained than courses 1 and 4. In courses 1 and 4, the topics were difficult to grasp for someone without a coding background, and the explanations were vague. Additionally, many of the resource links did not work, and I found that almost every peer assignment I was asked to review had clearly been written by AI.

course is good actually, but the main problem is plagiarism issues, which is so terrific. i submit my works doing for my self , but i still get the issues of error. i don't know why this system was failed in detecting the real work vs copied work

Good material, but assignments were too easy, and most peers I had to peer review were either bots or entering nonsense submissions.

A good enough course. Material are sometimes difficult to follow. Assignment are quite different from what were being taught.

I didn't find the specialization and this course in particular useful. It has low quality videos, unstructured information, and doesn't give enough knowledge to start working.

Also, the last course of the specialization requires background in programming, otherwise you will not be able to complete the specialization.

There was a lot of overlap on the videos in fact the incremental model video had the dictation of the wrong video. Someone who primarily relys in text to study the dictations were extremely frustrating at the minimum it should be broken into paragraphs

Confuse, lack important details. Peer review strangely setup. Testing covered in OK way but lacks any kind of real world examples, practices or code.

Too rigid in grading criteria. Takes the enjoyment out of the process.
