Great course for anyone wanting to get into Software Engineering, or a great refresher for those who have SE experience but need to fill in any gaps they may have. Highly recommended!

Overall it was okay, but...

There were a few pieces of information that were factually incorrect in bizarre ways, like the claim that JavaScript is case-insensitive, or that interpreted languages are only for small scripted tasks and not for building applications. Did they copy that out of a textbook from 1995?

Many of the quiz and test questions were fixated on the exact wording of arbitrary sentences in the course material rather than on the concepts and facts. One of those exact-wording questions even got the exact wording wrong.

This course did not make me want to continue with the rest of the program it's a part of.

The learning videos are not really motivating to watch and the some of the quiz don't use the same terminology. For someone who isn't native in english it's sometimes difficult to select the right answers.

It was good to get started with the key elements of software engineering, but it would have been helpful to get a better overview of all key elements to guide through the course

The re is no subtitles and no transcription below for the first video of the week 2 " Overview of Web and Cloud Development" and when I click to download the text of the subscription , the last sentence is not complete. I had to contact the agent named Glenn G during the support chat to signal that problem.
