I took this course as a refresher. I had most recently studied college algebra over a decade ago at my local community college. One of the most profound differences between that course and this one is the lack of practice offered. There are sample questions but there are no practice questions as there would be in a traditional setting. I found I had to spend considerable time using other sources like books and YouTube videos to make sure I grasped the concepts fully. More examples in addition to having practice questions would have been beneficial.

The course gives a basic understanding of Equations and Inequalities which would serve well as a primer to high school or basic college level algebra. I thought the videos were helpful but generally lacked depth. The lecture notes were skimpy but I found the practice problems and quizzes helpful. A few times I had to look up concepts on Google to get a deeper understanding.

This course lacks some useful details and common thread. Anecdotes aren't details, they are just anecdotes.

Overall, it was good, and I signed up for another math course from Coursera.

Not in depth, inferior to other free of charge lectures and courses you can find on Youtube, FreeCodeCamp, etc...

Too simple

The written material is very well done. There aren't enough practice problems. Some of the questions on the quizzes and test are not similar enough to the practice problems. Therefore, I had nothing to use to figure out how to do the questions. I am not analytical. If you flunked a test you could retake it again which is good, but they use the exact same questions. All you have to do is memorize the answers to the questions and you can pass. They should at least change the values of each question to see if we can transfer our knowledge of how to solve a similar problem.

It was an ok class. I no longer have high expectations for math courses; far too many instances of questions on quizzes not matching the content taught in terms of difficulty and lack of explanation on how to solve them. The example problems while helpful for the most part lack the difficulty which is encountered in the quiz problems. A lot of word problems aren't intuitive and require you to search for how to solve them elsewhere. Big curse of knowledge issues with math instructors.

Certainly doesn't start off at the elementary level. Explanations are insufficient and the exams at the end go off the rails very quickly. Examples in the lessons are very rushed and don't thoroughly explain concepts in a way a beginner can understand. I found myself having to look up better explanations of things such as absolute values on other websites.

this is complicated math..i try to answer how can i answer the numbers????
