I ' ve had to guess a lot of things , video explanations were not up to the level of the assignments I don ' t look for easier assignments but broader explanations ) . the last week assignment on crowdsourcing it ' s cool but for example Mechanical Turk take 48hrs to validate you before you could start , so if you start the assignment on friday you ' ll barely make it and if you had time until saturday ( because you work ) you are doomed .

Excellent course for understanding studies and policies about terrorism , its origins and the ways for understanding it . Terrorism is not about killing people ; it ' s about fearing people too . Maybe , the course which based on the writes of Mr . Bakker and one of his books could think us a commercial or promotional purposses , but It ' s a great , really great , course and way for understanding actually world we ' re living , and an excellent way for naming many things which happen all of us . Information is another fact power will release us from fear . Thanks .

Love the Bonus video part of the course ! The course has a simple structure and helps you work through the key factors in Project Management efficiently . I recently began to work on a project . With the ios App and self - paced course , I can learn the course while I am commuting between work and home in one week . I plan to work on stakeholder registry and WBS with team members to bring the concepts into practice . Big applause to Meloni !

My favorite course online this far ( I have enrolled in 200 + and completed 50 + of them ) ! Great content , great instructors , fair and reasonable assignments . This course should be a must for everybody on this planet . I highly highly recommend it . I already loved Scandinavian countries , but now I also like Lund University a lot !

Great overall introduction to C + for C programmers . It should be emphasized FOR C PROGRAMMERS . Once you know your stuff and a little bit of Computer Science ( data structures and algorithms ) , this course can benefit you if you never had a formal course or introduction on C + The instructor is well - versed in the topic and the examples are pretty interesting from a CS point of view .

I enrolled in this course just because it is offered by Nobel Laureate , Prof . Robert Shiller . Coming in , I had absolutely no expectations . Completing this course changed my perspective of how markets operate . Prof . Shiller covers a wide array of topics and I was dazzled by the fact that every aspect of the market is closely inter - twined

Understanding Research Methods MOOC by University of London helped me out to get extensive knowledge on the basic fundamentals that a researcher should have and should look into . I thank the Course Instructors Dr . J . Simon Rofe and Dr . Yenn Lee , SOAS , University of London for preparing this informative MOOC .

The lecture / interview approach brings diversity and different views on the table . The topic of the MOOC is actually quite simple , and it ' s its simplicity that makes it so important - first thought for the large majority of entrepreneurs should be to raise money by their own means , ie building a sellable product and finance the business through customers . The fact that it isn ' t so nowadays , is the reason for so many failures and it ' s also why this course is so relevant .

Thank you very much for this course . I really enjoyed the level of the course . In particular the fact that a decent amount of research was needed to work on the assignment . A few issues with the programming assignment . Especially at the beginning . I am assuming this is because this is the first version that uses jupyter notebooks .

This is an amazing course . As a psychology student , I gained important understanding of my responsibilities as a future psychologist . I feel more responsible for my actions as a psychology student and promoting tools in improving people ' s lives . Dr Barbara Fredrickson is an inspirational professor , highly intelligent and calm teacher , and can make you understand and feel relaxed and comfortable with studies . All of the fellow professors were also an important addition to course and presented interesting viewpoints . I highly recommend this to everyone and especially psychology students .

Thank you to everyone involved in making this course happening . The information offered is vital to understanding how we learn . In my opinion I have learned and finally understood important concepts of learning that I should have learned earlier in my life . I am very thankful for being one of the participants in this class and would suggest it to anyone ! Sad that this is not taught in school before we venture out into the world to become a grown up person .

Thank Mark Zupan , and team prepared for the course and interesting material . One star off for the complete lack of feedback in forums and cheating with text material .

I am very grateful to faculties for this course , Dr Prasantha Kalitha and his colleagues for such a informative and ultimate course on ' Global PH Losses ' . This course is very important to all learners from developing and developed countries , since world ' s growing population facing acute food shortage , thereby saving losses becomes need of the hour . In fact this is my first time for such online course , but enjoyed the course due to support of all the colleagues in the course . Saving the food is producing the food " and this course will help to accomplish this global goal . Thanks and regards , I liked the course . It really is a true beginners ' class . I think the instructor taught well with good examples illustrating each point . I deducted a point because the exercises were too easy and there weren ' t enough of them . I understand that it ' s not easy to come up with a good grading system , but the grading system definitely could be better .

Lectures themselves were OK , but presentation needs work . Intro session was very repetitive . Lot of jargon introduced without explanation . Pop - ups w text showed up but disappeared before I was able to finish reading them . Best part of course was actually the text notes at the beginning of each sesssion . A minor nitpick : course description suggests that there are 3 instructors presenting , but I only saw one .

The course has provided me with a very up - to - date panorama of the current knowledge and considerations over the evalutaion and application of Monitored Natural Attenuation as a remdial option for contaminated sites . It has also explained and commented on many key processes that are involved in attenuation processes , about which the knowledge for those who are participating in the management of a contaminated site is mandatory . Other than that , Drs . Alvarez , Newell and Adamson showed a very good grasp over the topics discussed , with even a few funny and entertaining conversations along the lectures . Overall , an amazing course .

Good lessons but the issue for me was that some of the video content was a little outdated . For example , it doesn ' t cover the update version of github website and how to use it . That being said directions sometime can be a little bit confusing . Another thing is some of the instructions are not clear for instance the guidance to how to submit an assignment . It is also intimidating that questions cannot be answered directly and if you want answers you have to dig a little bit dipper to get exactly what you are looking for .

This course wasn ' t well suited to me , being a person with a programming background . It was too introductory . But that doesn ' t say anything against the course . The reason I don ' t rate the course highly is that it just wasn ' t that coherent . I would have preferred to have a single , consistently good instructor .

I was glad to get exposure to famous algorithms through this class , but I don ' t feel like I really developed an intuition for reasoning about their runtime . The class was challenging , but mostly for the wrong reasons . I spent more time and energy pouring over the answers to tricky quizzes and having to implement algorithms exactly as described in the lecture notes rather than really truly learning . It also took me much longer than the 4 - 8 hours per week advertised to complete each week .

This is a very comprehensive course ( based on my personal experience with Coursera at least ) that goes into relevant detail on the topics it covers , but without wasting time on unnecessary trivialities . The delivery is clear and engaging , so if you ' re interested in the matter , you won ' t get bored . The material covers all the right topics for an up and coming web designer , providing the right amount of information for a confident start and plenty of pointers where and how to expand on the knowledge provided . Another point in favor is the frequent and valuable engagement of the professor and his teaching assistants in the discussion forums , unlike some other courses that feel abandoned by the staff once they start . In closing , I ' ve checked out several web design courses on Coursera and if you can choose only one , this one would definitely be my pick from all the ones I enrolled in .

This course covers a lot of ground at a pretty fast pace . It ' s not going to teach every aspect of the subjects covered - it couldn ' t possibly do so in the time - - but it teaches enough to allow students to ask the right questions later . I would like to see more searching practical exercises to cement the learning . The existing assignments follow quite closely the worked examples which means those coding along with Dr chuck aren ' t going to have too much more to do .

Course was great . I completed it at my own pace and enjoyed most subjects covered thoroughly . My favourite week was about Metaethics . I enjoyed it greatly and am continuing studying that in my spare time . The one complaint I would have is that I found it difficult to understand the lecturer covering scientific philosophy , as her accent was quite thick .

I was sitting behind a proxy server while taking the whole course , I had to get connected to other network without proxy to perform many assignment . It took me some time to realize that urllib can handle proxy server simple by setting an environmental variable . It would be better if Dr .

For a beginner , this course was a challenge in comparison to the other three base parts of Craft of Writing , but as a result of the challenge , it is by far the most rewarding as well . The concepts discussed , and the material provides the learners with both broad perspective into several topics that I would argue to be crucial in becoming a writer , and also a deep look at some very key concepts to writing . I would recommend taking this course last of the four , before beginning the Capstone project - if you ' re planning on going through all the parts . If you ' re a more seasoned writer , I would recommend starting with this course , and seeing how you fare with it . I ' ve enjoyed all of the base courses , but for me personally , this one struck the strongest chord .

Love Coursera but was disappointed in this course . Being a true beginner w / no background in programming or data science , I felt the programming assignments were way too far a stretch from the Swirl exercises ( which I felt were super helpful and beginner appropriate ) and lectures . I spent 8 - 12 hrs on each one just googling and trying to decipher the programming jargon that most responses were written in . I was able to figure out workable code for most problems but I feel like I am still lacking the basic fundamentals underlying the solutions to these assignments and would have a hard time reproducing solutions to similar problems .

I really liked this course . I have owned and trained dogs from a very early time in my life . I found it very interesting how dogs evolved from wolves and how that is apparent in dogs today . I typically like courses to be heavy on the science side , but this class was well presented for mid - level people or people who don ' t have a science background . Of course people will disagree with some of the material but overall it was an interesting class and the book recommended for the class was a good read . Mahalo from Hawaii

You can ' t introduce yourself to someone if you don ' t know who you are . This course does such a wonderful job of helping you accumulate the best of you , so that you can then present it to the rest of the world ( more specifically in this case , your interviewers . ) There are some lessons on English pronunciation , which I found a touch tedious since I ' m a native speaker , but it ' s nothing that takes away from the overall class .

I thought all of the information was great but at times the course was just very bland especially in terms of presentation . Also , the title is somewhat misleading and the presumptions that the course creators make about its students assume I am a business guy sitting in an office or a part of some team which makes the activities that you HAVE to do in order to pass the course a bit harder to complete . This is good because if what the activity desn ' t really apply to your situation it makes good practice to imagine a situation - not soo imaginative the task is incredibly easy - and apply what you ' ve learned . However , as I ' ve said , if what you ' re being asked to do is harder to apply than the activity in many ways isn ' t all that practical . I prefer Cumulative tests as well because they assess everything you ' ve learned and whether you ' ve retained the information or not .

I never had a programming class that covers really the base of the basics in such a deep and easy to understand way , not taking for granted many things . Professor Charles Severance has a great sense of humour ( it looks like you are talking to him in person it ' s not something spectacular for the camera ) and very generous showing his team , amplifying knowledge through interviewing many interesting people . Exercises were very helpful to understand the chapters . Would appreciate if could have more exercises ( not for grade , but for practicing ) . Super recommend it !

The content of the course is extremely useful for young emerging scientists like myself ; however , the videos were very hard to follow because the team speaks fast and with a very strong French accent . The materials are well - prepared , but my attention kept drifting away from the content due to language impairment . Also , some of the introductory notes were lacking proper grammar and I believe that , in a course with such a theme , this is simply unacceptable . With a bit of work , I think this can be a very useful tool in writing scientific papers !

I worked really hard on this course , but was stymied by a couple of quizzes . If I could not answer one question correctly , it meant I could not answer two or three of the next questions , meaning that I could not pass quiz . With no recourse , I was prevented from passing although my overall percentage of points earned was passing . I would still like to pass , as I feel that I really earned the certificate . I would really like a chance to speak to someone who can help me resolve my questions . My other problem was using one of the models , which I never could master , despite reading the help sites and trying two or more times .

The course is excellent . The platform has some aspects not so good - some parts still don ' t show up as ' done ' , so the progress line is always wrong . Also , the platform is not structured for a course consisting of a number of courses in series , leaving the dates etc wrong . Chapter 1 and 2 should ideally show up as completed , as theey are repeated in every module ( which is fine , but the platform should take care of those members who have done these in a previous module ?

This is a really hard course for an intermediate player . But it is an outstanding course , and it is amazing , if you think about it , to have hours of free access to Gary Burton . Students of Jazz will enjoy it , but it requires advanced chord theory , the ability to sight read , and a damned good ear to follow along . Some of the materials are strictly by sound , so if you can ' t follow chord changes you might be lost . That said , this course helped me improve my playing in several ways . I was kind of blown away by what I was able to achieve in the later lessons .

I would have loved to get more information . Addtional readings , forums to share ideas and recipes , projects etcs about food , health and nutrition . Maybe homework would increase our knowledge ! Some paper as final assignment would be helpful . Thanks for the course and enjoy your meals : )

Very good course - simple to follow videos - not so long that you cant concentrate - and its fun as well . Very well researched course I like the way the optional readings are grouped by module - this helps pace you correctly and give you the flexibility to explore a particular topic further . Handy practical guidance on avoiding the happiness mistakes we make day to day - I didn ' t realise so many I make myself . Thanks Prof Raj and team !

One of the most interesting and engaging courses I ' ve ever taken . Really awesome ! I will continue exploring its contents for a long time to come . Also , granted , I will continue looking at the many resources recommended by Dr . Freeman at the end of the course . I look to music today from a far richest point of view than six weeks ago . Thanks a lot !

I enjoyed this course immensely ! I was a bit hesitant due to its length , however , the content was usually manageable and mostly interesting . A couple of the weeks , the lectures are quite lengthy and dense while others were a bit dry . Also , I think the week about bacteria could use a little more explanation . I feel as though I didn ' t really understand those concepts until watching that week ' s as well as the next week ' s lectures . Finally , the quiz questions for the third to last week were a bit confusing and didn ' t match well to what the instructors actually said .

From the basic layout of the course you would assume it ' s for beginners since it covers step - by - step instructions to install software and run command on command line window . But on the other hand , many advanced concepts are slipped in this course without even basic introduction . I remember in one class , " data dredging " is discussed for about 2 - 3 minutes . But the instructor did not give a brief description about what it is , instead it just goes on about when you do not have clear question in your mind , you would run the risk of data dredging . I think the course could be organized in a better way . But I do appreciate the instructors ' hard work of putting up such a 10 - course specialization .

Strategic implementation , something that people generally forget about after creating their " marvellous " strategies and then watch them fail . This course teaches us how not to make that mistake . The course was nicely organised , though I believe the rubric for the last peer review assignment could do with a bit of tweaking . Rating on a 1 - 5 scale for about 10 questions clearly showed central tendency problems , as well as lots of subjectivity in the reviews . I hope it can be improved in the future !

A great course to wake yourself up and get running in the world of script writing . I recommend this course to every individual who is ready to work and earn rather than just buying a online certificate . Finally David sir small but powerful video sessions are excellent .

I am not connecting to the instructor at all . The material is well managed and organized but I am not able to really hear or understand . Further , my connection to the site is disturbing . In this and a couple of other courses , the video lectures jump around and begin in the middle of the lecture . Between these two issues , I am not having a good experience with this course . I live in the US and have graduate degrees in public health .

This course seemed to me the most un - interesting course . The content though important was not taught in a way to engage the student . The professor basically read everything . I could have easily done with slides than a lecture . Hopefully , this course can be revised to make it more exciting , interesting and engaging .

There are no notes for the course and the structure is quite loose . There are no assignments besides a final app . The time frame is difficult to keep up with , if you ' re not a full - time student . You ' ll spend time looking stuff up and re - running videos . If you ' ve never had a course using Xcode , this will be a steep - learning curve . it May be called Foundations to Business But it is way rich in content and i do appreciate . looking forward to the next programme . i will sure enroll .

I enjoyed the contents and homeworks . Overall the delivery was very good , and I have grasped a lot . The main reason that I won ' t give 5 stars is the program assignment . I have spent and wasted 3 weeks to work on the tools , yes , tools , not the subject matter . Course should clearly indicate that the assignment only works in Linux / UNIX environment , and need to further test the scripts in most popular Linux OS platforms , different c + + versions , and different python versions .

I felt this course was fantastic - and it is my opinion that the course should be a requirement for all members of the US Senate and House of Representatives - as they might make less dumb decisions when pedalling democracy in Muslim countries .

The lectures are a very brief overview of topics , with nothing actually taught . The quizzes are entirely disconnected from the lectures and require basically just finding and reading the right wikipedia pages . This course is an absolute joke and an embarrassment to UPenn , Coursera , and everyone involved . It ' s clear that the instructors don ' t care about student ' s actually learning anything . Compare this to the " Underactuated Robotics " course on EdX .

Excellent and well - structured course that provides learners with the key and simply - explained information about the EU , its history , institutions , policy - making , civic engagement instruments , opportunities that are available to all of us thanks to the EU , and so much more ! For me it was very interesting to watch interviews with people whose work is closely connected with the EU ; these videos are absolutely inspiring . Quizzes are designed just right I think they cover the most essential facts one need to know about the EU ) , and peer - graded assignments touch upon some thought - provoking issues and stimulate students ' critical thinking . I would say the course is truly worth taking , both for EU and non - EU citizens .

Very good place to start for beginners with some scientific information . Easy and quick to do food demonstrations , basic enough that students can build upon them depending on what is available at hand . Some ideas just tend to be redundant throughout the weeks , but I guess that is what she wants to stress on . No to processed food ! ! ) ) I just wish you kept the discussion boards open , so we have a platform to discuss ideas and exchange recipes .

With this on - line education , I learned how much health information impacts consumers . Healthcare consumers actively explore health information and make decisions about their health . And they get information via a number of resources such as friends and family , printing , electronic media , health care providers , other consumers and so on . It is very important that health information should be accessible to people and medical staff directly related to patients , and I think that the process of health information delivery should be appropriate to the degree of need of acquiring personal information of medical consumers . In addition , I think that the problem which critical to challenge was examined as long as consumers , providers , and information scientists who develop using health information should go through .

Solid course . My only complaint is misnomer that you have to know little math / logic . Game theory is a math - heavy subject , and while they do not delve too deep into advanced math , a lot of formulas are used with discrete math symbols ( from set theory , probability ) . It is quite possible to make it through this course without fully understanding these formulas , but it did make a fair amount of the lecture videos confusing to watch . Otherwise than that , the instructors are humorous and obviously understand and like what they are teaching . I highly recommend this course if you are looking to learn more about game theory !

This is an excellent course ! Emily Fox does an excellent job at explaining what could be a hard concept grasp . I am talking about convex optimization and the LASSO solution . I have taken graduate level classes in convex optimization and the math is high level and can be challenging . The animation Emily presents along with the geometric intuitive explanation drives the intuition home . Thank you Emily and Carlos for this class .

Nice course ! It is definitely a beginner ' s course , and my only complaint is that in order to be able to take the capstone course we will have to pay for and be certified for this course . I really think there should be an option for people who aren ' t absolute beginners to enter the track at a later point and still be able to get the full cert and / or do the capstone . After all , this track is geared toward using Python for analysis and data science , which is hardly a topic that is for absolute beginners . For what it is , though , namely a very beginning level course to teach the concepts of programming with Python , it ' s very well executed .
