    About the Course

    Since many software developers are compulsive coders, they have created software over the years to help them do their job. There are tools
    which make design and its associated tasks easier. The course introduces some basic tools and techniques to help you with design. Tools
    aren’t always tangible, however. The last two lessons of this course discuss questions of Ethics in software development. The purpose here is,
    as with tools, to equip you to better carry our your responsibilities as a designer. Students will be required to have a prior knowledge of writing
    and delivering software and some programming knowledge in java.

    Good insights about Ethics. Could be demonstrated open source UML tools as ArgoUML or another. Junit superficial approach.

    Once I completed the course the certificate states "This specialization is for those with limited workplace experience...". I do have years of experience and ashamed to show such a certificate to a prospect employer. This is very discriminating and inappropriate to write this on the certificate, especially that this phrase did not appear in the description of the course or anywhere else. I am still glad that it was not written "This specialization is for those with limited brain function...", so I am happy to give this 1 star rating.
