This course does not provide the necessary educational tools to complete the final project. Be prepared to teach yourself almost everything you need to know to finish this course. This course should include material that gives the student specific knowledge and resources rather than leaving out most of what one needs to know. I was extremely disappointed in the quality of this course.

It's really not for beginners. I am stuck on terminology. Elements, objects, functions all get jumbled together. The format something.something () simply needed an explanation. I still don't know what that means.

This course is alright but you're effectively paying to teach yourself. For these certificates that tout the idea you don't need any prerequisite programming knowledge, they sure seem to assume you have some coming in. I've had previous experience with HTML and CSS, and previous experience with C#, but I still had to research just to find out how to handle some of the tasks in the final assignment. Even the quizzes have questions never covered in the course material. This course doesn't equip you with nearly enough, and since the labs just give you the code you need, you're not even writing anything yourself or actually applying knowledge until the final assignment.

With that being said, the actual instruction is quite good. The lessons teach you some important concepts and the instructor is good at doing so. Again, though, I feel like I would have been a lot more lost if I didn't already have some knowledge of these topics coming in. Definitely wanted more from this class but I don't really feel like I came out with much more than I went in with.

I am very frustrated with the little to no help with the final project. No one reached out to assist me (did not want nobody to do the work for me but at least have more clearer specific instructions). I am very disappointed with this course and want to disenroll from this course immediately!!

Most of these IBM courses and videos barely scratch the surface in my opinion and leave many blanks to be filled on your own. However, during testing time, you are expected to know all the in betweens that were never covered on the videos. The course state that no prior knowledge is needed yet this is not how these courses are presented. Additionally, the practice site for the coding components don't load so you miss half of the content. I reached out to admins and they state that IBM is aware of the problem and working on resolving it.

I enjoy all the way. Nice for starting your journey in web development, from here you can start building your own small proyects or go to an advanced level course to improve your skills

The course was great for me, I learned a bit about Guy and GitHub functionalities. Fortunately, I've already knew about HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as I think what was taught about them in this course was very superficial, including for the little project at the end. Stressing to what was taught about JavaScript functions and DOM. But in general, this course was a great experience for me.

its a very useful course for beginners , it gives complete idea about web development though you dont know anything about it. thans to coursera for such a great coursera.

I'm only halfway done with this course and it REALLY has me rethinking whether or not to actually finish the IBM certificate. It's poorly planned and poorly executed. They either don't have a curriculum and instruction specialist helping them create their content, or they need to retrain the current one with active PIP in place for accountability.

Regularly, concepts are introduced out of order, or activities that build on one another are sequenced incorrectly. For example, there's a CSS activity that requires you to have made a certain website first in HTML. But, you're never directed to make that website. BUT WAIT, four or five activities later, you're directed to make the HTML website that you used in the previous CSS activity. What's worse is that the CSS activity introduces you to a handful of concepts, and then asks you to develop CSS using concepts that were introduced NO WHERE ELSE IN THE COURSE, not even in the cheatsheet.

I don't know who oversees learning and instruction, but they apparently have no background in education, instructional methods, or pedagogy. This is almost laughable--even more so when so many of the IBM Skills Share videos are available for free on YouTube.

Waste of money.

should be free, theres nothing on here that you cant find on youtube for free.

It is possible! Coursera simplified the bogus concepts and made me dismantle the fear of programming and web development. This course is highly recommended

I think it will be a very good idea to have more content for week 2,3 and 4. Some of us came here with almost no experience in development and the test my seem a bit hard for many of us to accomplish.

As for my self i had to do a lot of research for java language to make my final project outside of the course materials, i even had to ask some programming friends to give me a hand. I am not saying that it is impossible but it is more complex than the information we got from the course.

I thought maybe it is just me, but reviewing my colleagues project i could see that many of us have been in the same situation.

Otherwise the course is great and the curriculum is easy to understand and i want to tank you for all the work that have gone in this course.

All the best

Overall a good course, however some areas not very specific and you have to do outside research to be able to complete some of the labs and answer some of the questions.

Too short and superficial. The JavaScript section should be much longer and explain things more.

I learned a lot from this course. The final project pushed me to look for more resources to terminate my front end wed development.

The videos were not so good. Only reading out the slides. But the project was powerful. Really made me understand concepts.

This course highlights everything wrong with the Indian education system. Half the course is advertisement about IBM services and the other half will bore you to death. Please audit the course and then pay for it. It's not at all worth the money if you really want to learn something.

The final project was a huge jump and I am sure many would had failed or had received poor grades simply because it was that huge jump. Either teach those stuff in earlier weeks or make the test easier. P.S: I passed 20/20

Terrible course wirh ugly and unclear presentations and mistakes in tests (options in tests contradicts with previously presented information, - I would like to add screenshots here).

Course spoils reputation of such brands as Coursera and IBM!

In general course is waste of time and money!

very bad experience while doing this course. very complex english is used and there are exercises to do as the main code is done by the Instructor. no explantion of the concept either is css of javascript. if it up to me i would not recommend this to anyone.

it doesn't respect that some people are not will to build an interest calculator

Thank you Couresra for this wonderful course. I learnt many more things which were unknown to me.This also helped me to brush up my knowledge od web devlopment.

Good course for beginners. Very interesting course, learnt so many new thing.

Everything was simple to follow and the tests were pretty fun, the project however was very difficult for a beginner. HTML and Css were very well put and simple to follow. However the Javascript of the final project was difficult in specific areas. There was given code that allowed you to establish the base of the project. But lots of the javascript information was thrown at you in one setting without application before the project.

Lab does not support viewing. Instructions are out of date. Could not view real time changes on Tool for HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
