This course has a good starting point, but there are so many things that ended up being wrong that I just cant force myself to give it more than 3 stars (and Im not sure if it should be 3 or 2 stars). I think this is also the first course on Coursera that didnt get 5 stars from me (not sure if Ive given 4 stars once only).So the bad parts first:Assignments are so unrealistic its unbelievable. Week 1 is doable. Week 2 is problematic if you have a complex idea, lets say its still doable, but you would certainly need more time than expected weekly hour work. Week 3 is insane. It is so out of the scope of this course. And week 4 is even worse, I had to use pen and paper and then explain only 1 of the core mechanics (even that used more than expected weekly hour work).Some of the quizzes are not fully clear if you are not a native English speaker. Sometimes I had to re-read things several times, and still wasnt sure what I was doing wrong (I realized that only after I managed to literally guess the correct answer).And most of all grading is the worst Ive seen in any course. All of it based on a personal opinion. Hey I even managed not to get full points for a document is HTML/PDF/..... I mean - how can I not get full points there? It either is or is not a HTML. Its so much subjective that its making it awful.Now about the good parts:Professor did a great job, the course inspired so many ideas for me.The material is concise and it was a pleasure listening to this course.Most of the courses are too slow for me, so I have to fast forward them to 1.5 and some even to 2 times speed. Ive run this course only on 1.25 speed, which is a good thing. Im not a native English speaker.
