Overall, a pretty a great course. in my opinion. This is the first time I took a course on this website and the second time I ever took a class online. Before I took this course, I already had a little bit of coding experience from learning some Java and JavaScript. I had no prior knowledge of C# or how to use Unity, but I was able to get through this course pretty easily. There were of course some projects that were harder than I thought they were going to be, but I'm glad I was able to finish this course. I feel like I have a decent foundation of C# and Unity and look forward to learning more. The only reason I give this course 4 stars is because I wish there were more diagrams associated with the instructions and lectures. If I didn't have prior programming knowledge, I feel like this course would of been a lot harder to finish because of the pace of the class and lack of diagrams and pictures (There are pictures and diagrams in this course, but in my opinion not enough).

This course is not for absolute newbies, as they say in intro. It requires a good knowledge of C# (essentials or better) and expects you to handle the concepts of object-oriented programming with ease. My level was sufficient to understand all lectures and get highest notes for assignments, but still, I had to read some extra litterature to clarify some moments that professor simply does not explain. So, if you are new to programming, my strong advice will be to get some basics of C# first. Do not be misled by firsts 2 weeks: the content seems to be easy, but starting from there, you will feel the lack of information, and Dr. T's book is not enough to close the gap. As for me, I am satisfied with the course because my objective was to learn Unity, not C#. And I think, it's a good beginning for game programmers.

I thought this course was an excellent start to Unity and and C# for Game Development. For the most part the lectures and exercises were good. The order could do with being reviewed as there were exercises that were attempting to do things that hadn't been taught yet.

One downside is the marking system. I know Tim is reaching out via the forums for ways to improve it. In theory, having 3 people mark your work is a great idea. However there are no checks or balances. I've submitted a few assignments which meet the requirements and 2 of 3 people gave 4 or 5 marks out of 5 but the last person gives an inexplicable 0 or 1 mark with no feedback as to why they did that. I can ony guess they didn't download the work and feel vindicative.

All in all it's good and I'm looking forward to moving onto the second course.

Pros:+) Smooth introduction into Unity engine+) Few tips and insights from experienced game programmer+) Free book with valuable info on Unity and advanced C#, that are not covered completely in the course itselfCons:-) Workload is overestimated-) Too much basic programming concepts-) No active discussions on forum, no peer-evaluation projects-) Some unnecessary topics are detailed, while important things are covered poorlyOverall, I would recommend the course if you can get it for free or discounted, but in my opinion it does not worth full-price. If you are motivated enough, the course can also be completed during the trial of 7 days. However, if you consider to go on with the specialisation, then paying for all 4 courses pays off.

Great course, and instructor has a lecture style that makes things fun. Only criticism is that this course would be extremely difficult for someone with no programming experience at all.

Took away a star because I'm really not a fan of the grading system. I completed my week 4 assignment nearly a week early, and I'm still waiting for my grade. Also, forums don't look very active. I have a feeling there aren't many people taking the course, much less activity on the forums since week 1 so there's a chance the students that were there early on either dropped out or lost interest. Of course this means not enough students to peer review your assignment, which can have you waiting around for your grade.

In the beginning this course was somwhat boring to me, but as the class progressed my interest did too. By the end I really enjoyed this course and I would reccomend it to anyone starting with Unity. It gives information little by little just enough to build a functionally different project each lesson but not enough to go over your head. Also I was probably bored in the beginning because I already was familiar with the C# programming language and it was basically just him repeating what I already know. Take that for what you will :).

Overall a very solid course. Some inconveniences in finding the essential materials because in one instance they were not labelled in the ZIP file. The lecturer is great though and he does make it easy to understand. I wish there was a little more explanation for some topics, however, to reinforce the learnings from previous weeks. The exercises are good practice and is a step up from another course I did. Overall, 4/5 :) Good job Dr. T!

The Teacher is Great and he teaches really well. but the peer review homeworks were made only as optional because of coursera peer review system issues. So, because they're optional, doing them feels not so much of an achievement but extra work. And the Assignments at the end of every week were replaced with too easy tests. That's my only issue with this course, everything else from exercises to videos, it was awesome.

I felt the instructor was fairly clear, very personable, and enjoyable to listen to. I learned a lot in the course, particularly in how to approach programming on a fundamental level. One main difficulty with the course; however, is that often my newest version of Unity would not be compatible with the exercise material, which made it impossible for me to complete a number of exercises.

Many others seemed to find it easy to follow, but I found the teacher's pace difficult to keep up with and his Lesson-Instructions a bit hard to follow, especially when interspersed with personal stories that got me off track, attention-wise. This might just be because I'm on the Autism Spectrum, though. Will Be switching programming languages//teachers to see if it was just me.

Very useful and a wonderful teacher. I encountered some issues with the version of both Unity and my IDE which was different from the one used for creating the different projects provided in the zip files. So an explanation on the compatibility between versions should have been a plus.

Thanks a lot anyway, it will help me in the future for creating games!

The start of the course was really nice and explanatory, however, I feel that towards the later parts, many new elements were being added without much explanation, and it got a bit difficult to understand everything. All in all. this was a good course, and I would like to thank Dr.T for opening new doors for me.

This is a fine course to learn about Unity and the principles of OO programming. On the other hand, it does not emphasize the fundamentals of programming itself. This is fine if you are not really interested in C#. Dr. T. is a very nice guy and I haven't seen such in-video quizzes in Coursera yet.

Great course. The professor is very friendly and explains things very well. The only reason this is not a 5 star is because sometimes he doesn't explain everything and you have to search on the Internet to grasp the things he uses while coding. Other than that very good course

I' am new to the Unity and C# programming. This course gives introductory information on both of these areas. I expected more from the course in terms of coding lectures. Since this course has a specialization I am sure ı can get more experience in coding in the next course.

Hello. The course is good, but has some problem

Firstly, it's autograder. It's not smart. I was doing the tasks for long time. for example, it don't apply my work, cus i write space after task(I writed WriteLine in the last string, But it want me to write just Write)

If you are beginner in programming, this course is well suited. It starts with very basics and explains well. It gives you some time to understand as well. If you have a bit of programming experience, then it would be too basics, you can go through the weeks quickly.

This is a very good course to take in order to understand programming in C# and using the Unity game engine. This course will help you understand the basics of coding in C#. I would totally advice you to take this course if you want to master game development.

Muy buen curso para introducirse a Unity, aunque un ejercicio nos pedían usar la clase Time sin habernos si quiera mencionado antes esa clase en el curso, sin embargo, buscando en la documentación lo pude resolver, después de eso, satisfecho con el curso.

This course gained basic knowledge of Unity and C# Programming. But the course is still need to update with new knowledge like manipulating audio and animations so that we can learn how to make a basic arcade game after learning this course.

It was a great course. Dr. T is an amazing and entertaining teacher. the slight problem I had with the course is the amount of unity classes and methods used, sometimes it was a bit overwhelming. Other than that it was a great experience.

I had a little background experience with programming before, but I must say, the assignments towards the end get a little challenging and I struggled for a few hours because there was not much clarification. But nothing impossible.

I like the course, but felt that the final exam was a bit tame. A 'you did it' video might be nice, but I still enjoyed the course despite having wanted one regarding C# with WEB development, not GAME development.

I learned a lot, but the course felt somewhat disjointed. It was really helpful to have the guidance of the course though, and I feel like I could start to make a game now with what I learned if I really wanted!

Good introduction to game scripting with Unity. Felt there is more scope to introduce difficulty in the programming assignments and exercises. Video quizzes where pointless and not witty enough to be worth it
