Came from the predecessor specialization by Duke, which was really great. So I had high expectations for this course.

But this course introduces not much new (only some library using), no new programming concepts. I also didn't like the programming assignments (one "big" project). They were not challenging at all (much too easy), and also not really interesting (repetition and expansion of an assignment at Dukes). You are also not writing that much code, because you get too much from them, where you just have to add a little here and there.

Liked, that they divided the videos into different stages (core, concept challenge, when I struggled), so you only have to watch the videos, that you find necessary.

I hope the next course will be more interesting and challenging.

The course itself is great, but I highly discourage any further participation before:

1. TA's assistance became avaliable again. The forum is extremely poor in quality and it takes decades before you find information you need (if there is any).

2. The relevant knowledge is updated. The course is great, but some functions are obsolete.

3. The removal of peer revising stage. You don't really get revised, and you don't have anything to revise. It felt like a dead course where no one offer you help at this moment.

I'm not really seeking for a certificate - just reinforcing my knowledge here. I learnt great contents here, but it really doesn't provide much assistance in case of need.

The lectures were too wordy and the lecturers tripped over their words too often (which wouldn't have made it so difficult to listen if the lectures hadn't been so wordy!). There was too much focus on high-level details of the course project and too little attention paid to technical details. This rendered the lectures simplistic, boring, and sometimes a waste of time. This felt like an introductory level course, made more difficult through poor teaching.

Also, the slick web interface was slightly difficult to navigate in comparison to other Coursera courses.

One suggestion i give to you that, please level of difficulty increase in a way that the learner not face to much thing in a single assignment. So, create assignment like that learner learn less thing but accurately. For example in this assignment you only build a relations between classes and marker on a map for only CityMarkerMap.java class and in the next module you implement LandMarker.java and so on. So, please this is my request in the future make assignments in a way that the Learner less thing but efficiently and accurately.

While the material is relevant, the exercises required too much specific knowledge that was not discussed in lecture. For an experienced programmer, most of the exercises were easy, but I admit I had to look ahead on two of the projects because the instructions were too lacking. The final project was too open ended and made me not want to finish this course.

Overall, I would not recommend this course.

The program is severely outdated. Most GUI-based learnings and code are depreciated and extremely difficult to set up on modern machines. While the problems and methods discussed are good and definitely challenging, in my opinion, the course doesn't delve deep enough into inheritance and other OOP-related concepts.

Would have been great seven years ago...but the course requires you to use Java Applets, which are discontinued with good reason. This means running Java 8, which can create numerous further errors for most editors.

If you think this is an introduction to Java programming language you are wrong.What do you want? Do you want teach us to use Processing or teach us to program in Java?

This course is very hard to follow, you are not building the program from scratch. But instead they force you to learn Processing module independently by yourself

They taught the outdated module (i.e)PApplet which is included till java8 version ,from later version that module was not included in java software(like java12).

Learned some important stuff but this course is outdated. I had to jump through several hoops to make it work.

Almost useless course. The lessons have nothing in connection to assignments. Waste of time.

You are teaching with java JDK 8, which is completely obsolete and out of date.

too fancy and the structure is not very clear. Not very much learned.

I don't know about course content but this is for coursera platform

Too much complicated and high level at an intermediate level

This course is too basic and appropriate for the beginners.

Course content is limited, all OOP topics are not covered

The peer review assignment part is really

useless.

The Course is old, advise try another one.

Course not updated to latest standards.

old version ,out of date

good course

Useless course as well as specialization as it is an outdated course most of the things taught are deprecated and also no proper support is provided.
