No help at point of questions. No option but to re-take modules which are no help if you have taken them multiple times and still don't know the answer.

courses must be in different languages as well other than english , like English+Hindi or in Hindi as it takes less time to understand and learn.

More videos should be there instead of the written content. Less clarity of me understanding your courses videos.

the course could be made giving less complex examples.explanation part was very poor.

Need more videos instead of paragraphs of texts. Very difficult to digest the words.

its self reading course and is tough to crack for beginner.

More info is in text form than video

wont recommend waste of time

boring and dry

too basic.

There are better courses to learn about programing basics around Coursera. The manner of teaching is more of a read all these notes I gave you and understanding it well and very minimal lecture to elaborate on the topic. Some of the topic would have been easier to teach in video form rather than reading a note but nope.... For those who takes this course with the hope of completing the specialization, just go away... the programming environment and grader is not working 95% of the time ( I tried to get into it 10x already) which prevents you to complete the next few courses.

I have 40 years of experience as a computer programmer, and I enrolled in this course to see if I could recommend it to someone looking to enter the field of computer science. I definitely would not recommend this course to anyone. It is a huge waste of time and does not focus on those vital things for success as a programmer. I was truly disappointed because if someone who was interested in programming started in this course then I doubt that their interest would continue.

So disappointed in this class/specialization. The tools (programming environment) is buggy, slow, and a pain to use. Instruction is lacking in content and clarity. Had to waste massive amounts of time googling and looking up explanations on discussion boards.

I've taken over 50 Coursera courses, and this is the first specialization I quit because I just couldn't keep putting more effort into taking the course than the instructors put into making it.

I took the algorithms example and could already tell this course was pathetic. It makes 0 sense to start counting occupation of a graph at 0. Will never take another course at Puke University.

Wow this course is just awful.....The videos are not helpful in anyway and this course was not what I expected and definitely not for beginners looking to learn how to use code with C.

very complicated nothing explained clearly

we had so much to read rather than video explanations i could have got that that even in a book

it didnt started from basics as promised

coursera's grading system by launching labs isn't working at all and the assignment is marked as 'unattempted' even though one has tried doing it for several times!

What a waste of a credit. Desorganized information, slow pace but then jumping foward... and so on

sir at least give us some idea why our answer to given question is wrong. it only show incorrect.

I dropped the course due to technical issues on Duke's side. Can't complete the assignments.

please mention my correct name in my certificate .i get frustated to change it

I am not geeting my certificate after completing the course ehat can i do

the teacher are very uninteresting and totally kill the desire to learn

The most confusing class i've had the misfortune to take. Awful.

sorry but i failed to understand the course may be i am lagging .
