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!

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.

This class gave me a good basic understanding of HDL. As I proceeded into later classes, I appreciated that this was an intro. I had to read and learn a bit more to get the rest of the classes in the specialization done. The FIFO assignment was frustrating as it seems ill-specified. I couldn’t get the VHDL version right despite several attempts. The auto grader for assignments can be nonsensical and provide very limited feedback as to what you did wrong and how you can improve your grade (or learn from your mistakes). To make matters worse, there’s no written rubric as to how points are awarded. All that said, I felt the class did a good job of helping me get a good ground in hardware description languages. I wish there would have been an assignment to develop a test bench. I also would have liked to hear about UVM.

feeling satisfactory after successfully completing the course. the instructors were the expert of the topic and explained very well. some of the programming assignments require more clarifications and learning which i found missing in the videos. videos are not enough to complete those assignments.
i am very happy to have this certification and would love to be the part of more learning by the coursera.

The course gives a good overview for the HDL. However, the assignments templates needs to be revised because there were some errors. Also, the requirements sometimes are vague, there is no specific specifications like synchronous/asynchronous signals active high/low clock. But, overall it was good time to revise HDL. I am looking forward to be involved in more advanced courses related to the FPGAs.

The course content was worthier and good. But the assignments and the methodology of assessing the assignments were not rigorous. The questions were not clear and elaborate. Once I uploaded a wrong Verilog code but I got 10/10 for that assignment. I don't know how. The course content was really good. But the method of evaluating the assignment could be made better.

A good combination of introduction to VHDL and Verilog. Cover essential topics for design and test implementation. There are rooms to improvement regarding the assignments description. Also, having the test benches encrypted is fine, but better to make it open source for students once they have get enough grades for that specific problem.

It is a nice course, I have learned a lot!. However, it can be better if the programming assignments had more comments or hints to debug your codes and complete with the test bench that grade every code. I know Verilog before take this course, but I learned new useful technical and theoretical knowledge.

This course provides insights into the world of hardware design. The assignments provided were quite challenging and diverse. The Testbench files were provided on which the code had to be tested and simulation had to be done on ModelSim, provided by MentorGraphics.It was quite an interesting course.

Good training. Could be better. Students should pay attention that most of information they will learn not from video but from books recommended at the end of video. Practical work has abit cryptic task description. what exactly doing particular wire is not clear. U have to google a lot to find out.

Its a good course that explain the fundamental operators and design methods to construct hardware system units. I only have a trouble with the last design in the week 2 and week 3, and it is that it lacks detail about the requirements of the problem.

Good for beginners.Though the instructors can improve upon how they present the concepts by incorporating few complex examples on both Verilog and VHDL.The assignments questions need to be different for both the languages.

I did love how explanations were made and especially the flexibility in the submission of quizzes and assignment. My understanding of VHDL and Verilog have been made batter. The instructors are top notch.

This course is very helpful in understanding the basics of hardware description languages and now after doing this course i am very much comfortable in using verilog and vhdl language.

The Verilog course was very good.
However the vhdl course could have been better.Needed a bit more clarity on the assignments.The lectures could have used a bit more explanation.

Good VHDL intro, Verilog was kind of light, especially the reference material. Free Range VHDL was a great reference. The Verilog section needs something similar.

The content of the course is excellent, but the design of the asigments delay your progress, because if you fail a quiz you have to wait 72h to apply again.

Great course to start learning HDL languages. I recommend this for people who has some knowledge of HDL and wants to recap the most elemental concepts.
