I have done a few computer science courses already and some of them were related to embedded systems. This is one of the best so far.\n\nHigher level than a introductory course.\n\nHighly advisable.
The course was excellent for me, as a beginner. Of course, the learning curve was steep and the assignments challenging, but I learnt a lot. Thanks you Coursera and University of Colorado, Boulder.

•Was very helpful, I can now understand the hardware level functions of an embedded system

•Course content structure and refresher question in between video was very useful.

•Good material. Too much specialty jargon, difficult for non-CS majors.

•It'd be even better if it's available with teacher's online help ;)

•Very helpful information, but sometimes a little bit overwhelming.

•Good Concepts on Embedded, sadly MSP432 board will never be used

•Great course, give you a big picture. But where is course 2?

•It was amazing and great...Learn something completely new.

•Good and easy contant and well explain
But i become so disappointed with the assessment it's so hard and not match the content
I agree it's about the learning contant but it's not easy like it
There weren't many examples to understand the assessment and do it easily
I made many Searches on Google to understand and to be able to do the assessment
I suggest and hope that you prepare some new videos to practice more and to be able to solve my assessment problems

•The course is good and well structured, but do not expect any support from the instructor or moderators during the course. There is no way for you to review a decision during peer reviews. I had to upload the same submissions again due to incompetent peers marking my answers as wrong.

•An interesting course but the assignment goals aren't always the clearest. While i understand the importance of code reviews, I don't believe that they are the best way to grade assignments due to the varying skill levels of persons taking the course.

•The content is well crafted, there are some rough issues around the homework and the support in the forums is null.

•The topic is good but lack of maintenance in these days. Also, no access to the downloadable slides.

•It's a good basic Intro but does not go into details as I would expect.

•While this course has some very good information, the way it's presented is really poor.
After the information tsunami of every video, at the end of each week there is an assignment which does a bad job of bridging the gap between what was taught and how it should be applied. It feels vague, and I spent hours merely deciphering the requirements of the project. The last assignment was a huge letdown - almost no 'true' embedded programming at all, simply pointer tricks, fumbling with makefiles, gcc flags, and print statements. It was a repackaging of all the other assignments into one ambiguous conglomerate.

•Listening to the lectures and reading the material is not enough to get more than 20-40% of the max score in some of the tests. The reviewers can give lower scores even if the assignment has been done correctly, just because why not, Coursera couldn't care less. References/paths are often out-of-date. Neither the Android app, nor the web interface displays the correct answers.

•All are basics only. . . and its not a hands on training

•The lecture videos are pretty decent, but the quizes, tests, and assignments are brutal with confusing instructions, little to no examples or relevant resources for help. The entire course is littered with typos, spelling errors, etc. that need to be reviewed. The Final Assignment did not provide a solution to refer to after submitting it. I know I didn't do it correctly, but somehow I passed that last assignment and the entire course. This course is such a joke. I can see now why employers don't take Coursera certificates seriously. Seems like a money grab without any effort to actually help the students learn the material effectively. Such a waste of my time and money. Lost faith in Coursera and am now exploring alternative options like Udemy, which seem to be higher quality for cheaper.

•I can assure you that if you are a beginner and thinking to get knowledge about the subject and learn something useful than u are at a very wrong place. If you are from India just go to NPTEL channel on youtube and learn from there because this course is a package of unnecessary high-level things without any explanation.
the professor will explain some topics well like memory management but will not explain about the practical codes (which are useless) he will write not even a bit.
So don't waste ur time just enrol in some other course or as mentioned learn on youtube.

•There is no way to unenroll from this course. No way to contact anyone. The help center mentions an outdated method that no longer works. Do not enroll in a course here, unless you are certain that it's a course you want to take. The only way I have found is to cancel my subscription.
