The course material can be interesting. However, it's clear that they're looking to get as much paid subscription time from you. They lock off the actual programming assinments behind quizzes which, if you don't get enough right, they delay you for 3 days.

teacher as well as way of teaching is not good . assignments are great though

Very good course and assignments. Enjoyed learning. But screw your ID Verification. It's so annoying. I can't get my Certificate even after I complete the course.

Thank you so much Coursera for offering this course and to the teachers who put their efforts to make this course easy to learn. Before joining this course I only had experience on C language and microcontrollers and having completed this course I am able to do basic FPGA coding using VHDL or Verilog. This course also taught how to use ModelSIm software and its simulations. I recommend this course to anyone who want to learn Hardware descriptive language and get started with FPGA. Thank you again.

An overall understanding can be gained after finishing this course, in areas involving Verilog, Digital Systems design using HDL, and a basic idea on how fpga's implement the code developed.

Had a great time learning and i'm very grateful to Univ of Colorado Boulder and Coursera for giving me this beautiful opportunity. And always cheers to Andrew Ng and team! Thank you guys.

I am giving 5 stars despite many complaints regarding the missing pieces that hampered our progress. But it was very challenging, and I am still not sure if the so called "errors on Coursera platform" weren't actually purposely introduced by both professor in order to stimulate our neurons in the pursuit of solutions. I am looking forward for the next in series.

Please provide better guidline. for example, FIFO design using NHDL, how we know memory updating(writing) and updating dataout(reading) is asynchronous. it is to clearly say that. then it is easy to design. unless at one moment, as student we become stuck. sometimes it can be reason not to finish course.

A truly beautiful course. This chapter of digital electronics is truly fascinating and particular. Unfortunately, it is not treated as a topic in my university course. The other interesting thing was the implementation of the two languages on the same exercises. Congratulations and thank you.

Good introduction to HDL for both, VHDL and Verilog. You need a good basis of digital electronic and some background on coding but not too much as the course is very introductory but giving examples and bottom to top approach. Highly recommended to those that want to start from somewhere.

as the first course I have had for HDL it is perfect. The combination of structured lecutre materials, pretty challenging for the beginners problems to solve, good list of reading materials makes this course very comfortable for later use for real taks solving.

This is really good course for beginners . One aspiring to learn something about verilog and vhdl programming languages could definitely go for this.The assignments and the quizzes are extremely well structured so that the aspirant could gain maximum out of it.

Tim is an incredible instructor, very grateful for the course materials he has put together. I have learnt a fair amount from this course and had the opportunity to practice with the format. Strongly would recommend.

Course opens mind for HDL and allows to select what you like more - VHDL or Verilog. Very useful if you have basic knowledge of FPGA otherwise if you are the beginner in FPGA - start with the first course (a must).

The course has been incredibly informative, and I’ve gained a lot from it. The assignments were very helpful in strengthening my practical skills in both VHDL and Verilog. Many thanks to the team!

The way to introduce both programming languages is very natural.

Quizes are a little confusing at first, but they helped me to understand the underlaying concurrent behavior of FPGAs.

Absolutely the best course I've taken! It was incredibly comprehensive, and I learned so much from it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to delve into FPGA and hardware design.

I really liked this course . if someone wants to know how digital circuits are made inside of computer then this course could be proven as turning point in his way of learning .

Excellent content. The exercises could be more detailed though. I learned a lot about Verilog, Modelsim and I practiced my VHDL knowledge.

Very interesting class. I wish the exam questions weren't a multiple part answer without partial credit. But, overall great course.

Excellent course, helped me to gain reasonably good foundation on both VHDL and Verilog effectively in a short period of time.

Excellent course! A broad review of several topics! Great videos and great assignments! I have been loving this specialization!

Good reading materials. The videos are concise. However, it could improve the code programming assignments to be more explicit.

Professors were top-notch and clearly explained the pros and cons of each of the languages. I hope I could meet them in person.

Great experience. Nice learning opportunity. However, please include assignments which are little more diverse and difficult.

It's a nice course to exlpore VHDL and Verilog basics. Self learn is necessary. While coding any type of modelling is fine.
