It is a great course to understand the fundamentals of real time systems. However more hands-on programming assignments are required to have a better understanding of FreeRTOS. Also, the mathematical equations involved in the design of schedulers should be explained with their underlying proofs. Putting the equations simply on slides doesn't convey the idea behind the concepts. The course introduces you to good reference materials where the concepts are explained in a very simple and lucid way. Overall the course has great content and is worth attending for master students and working professionals.

The course was interesting, although I understood that it could not have covered all aspects of RTOS. The teacher spoke at good pace.

Considering that the course is quite old, the teacher moved away from Abo University (so it's not clear who should give support), what I did not like is th peer review mechanism. Sometimes you need to wait a long while to get feedbacks or to give some, considering that the population taking this course is quite small.

The course is very good in my opinion. There are some little drawbacks though. The assignments are not very difficult but expect you to be autonomous in setting up the environments; this was a bit of a hurdle for some students. Also the reviews could be better. The review feedback depends on how well the reviewer understood the subject; more concrete instructions would be good as well as more precise criterias for the grading of the peer review.

The course focuses only on the part of real-time systems called task schedulers. The content is perfect for a course on real-time task schedulers. The programming and simuliation assignments are designed perfectly to complement the concepts. Some instructions about seting up simulation and programming environment in Linux would be nice.

I recommend this course to developers who want to get understanding about RTOS and work with it .. the videos is so short that you can get boring like other courses and the assigments are really hlpfull.

thanks so much to EIT Digital online university

and special thanks to Dr. Simon who gave a brief explaination to the topics

The course is quite focused on schedulers and more lectures on FreeRTOS would be welcome. Although deeper and more extensive explanations about queues, mutexes, semaphores... and many other RTOS features, would be necessary, on average the course is interesting because you learn to understand how the core of any RTOS work.

It was really helpful course, thanks for providing such course.

+ Points - Nice arrangements of the topics, quiz , videos and assignments etc. Good help on the administrative queries etc.

Can be improved in terms of the coding assignments . We can provide some more coding assignments with different schedulers.

If you don't know how to start with RTOS, this course will be OK for you. I think it was overly theoretical and I wish there were more "real-life" programming assignments/lectures. Also adding "model" responses after you send out your work would be beneficial. Despite those drawbacks, I still recommend it.

Strongly focused on the scheduling methods. Good introduction to freertos. I think it could be really helpful to have written notes along with the videos. I know it is a lot work to prepare this kind of document for a MOOC, but it would be a big benefit.

Nice overview of the task schedulers for RT-OSes, but nothing more. A bit sad that the quizzes are not great and that problems with programming tasks are not fixed.

Still it's the best course in the speciality.

Excellent introductory course to RTOS. Although the course is very theoretical, it is very clear and gives you the tools to continue learning on your own or to take more advanced courses.

Good introduction to RTOS concepts. A little theoretical, there could have been a project to do in the end which would have made the course objectives more clear.

It was good amount of leaning new things related to RTOS. This course gives you knowledge to design and choose the RTOS based on your requirement of the project.

Good mixture of theoretical and practical applications. Could use access to course slides, and maybe a larger practical assignment.

Course is good. The only point is some more help should be provided with the tools that are being told for the assignment.

Concepts of Real Time Systems explained nicely.Though FreeRTOS software needs to be explained in little depth.

It is a very good course but in practical tasks a better accompaniment and clearer instructions are necessary

More Tutorial for Programming should have been given. Otherwise, the course was very nice and informative.

Great course, sometimes hard to follow for newbies. Some instructions are a bit ambiguous or unclear.

It was indeed a very good course, but it would be best if it taught coding from basics too!!

Where is my certificate? I cannot see my certificate for this course, I have completed it

Some details are not updated, but the content and practice exercises are very informative.

It would be helpful if there are PDF slides which summarize all knowledge to download.

The course is pretty useful to get familiar with a few basic concepts of the RTOS.

great course. I enjoy many point about RTOS from here. Thanks ^^
