Learner Reviews & Feedback for Pointers, Arrays, and Recursion by Duke University
About the Course
Pointers provide control and flexibility when programming in C by giving you a way to refer to the location of other data. Arrays provide a way
to bundle data by guaranteeing sequences of data are grouped together. Finally, recursive functions—functions that call themselves—provide
an alternative to iteration that are very useful for implementing certain algorithms.

This course is certainly very challenging and I am glad I made it. To those who are still struggling with the poker game project, I encourage you to keep working hard and you will achieve a lot.

Best part of the course the assignments and the poker project. I loved the reading part too. Best skill I got from this course is deep knowledge of debugging.

Would definetively recomend taking an introductory course to C programming, this course requires prior knowled not stated before signing up... it has great content but if you are not familiar with any programming language yet better wait before taking this course.
Also, would be better if there were more worked through examples.

A very good course if you just look at the programming part. But most of the time you try to find testcases what the programmer could have done wrong ( without knowing the course). That's pure luck and does not help to improve my C skills....

Sincerely speaking, the project is not that good for me, it's not really hard but since I don't play card, remember those rules really kills me... Hope you can change to a more general project that everyone could enjoy.

The poker assignments are just too complex to keep up with, a planning system needs to be introduced so that all the data types and files can be understood.

Not making enough effort to help students make sense of the convoluted implementations that they had used.

It's really good until you have to deal with invisible test cases for weeks and weeks..
