This course provides useful concepts on software architecture but is very superficial, is recommended for upcoming architects.

It would be a plus if focusing on real world scenarios or more advanced examples on how to use the described concepts and strategies.

In my case that I'm a beginner the course is very short. But in general, al important themes where covered, especially the Architecture Trade-off Analysis Method (ATAM) and MAPE-K structure.

great course and well designed. i wish more practical examples was explained in the videos such as the sharing app, to be taken as a case study and analyzed from scratch to define its components and understand its structure ... etc. sometimes i feel real life examples such as building and pizza ..etc are helpful to some extent, but don't accurately give the needed level of understanding.

me gusto mucho la sección de estilos arquitectónicos y diagrama de componentes, no fue claro la parte de atributos de calidad y Metodo ATAM , para análisis de disemio

This course is good enough. However, It is remarkable important to support each course of this specialization up to date

Material is good. Very useful course for IT practitioner. However some assignment could have been written clearer

Best course to know basics of software architecture

Has good initial view on the architecture concepts

Very helpful course

Very Good Course

From all the technical and non-technical courses I took this year, this one was the least enjoying. Not because of the topic, which is extremely important, but because of delivery of this course. I felt like the lecturer was just reading some script without fully understanding various aspects related to software architecture. No cohesion, jumping from aspect to aspect, there is no "story" behind. My general impression is that someone gave someone else a task to prepare a course for Coursera just to make it, and another person was tasked to record with whoever will agree to read the lines. And the one who wrote the lines, did not know that this is for the online course. Assignments - very weak point of the course. Long instructions that ask for installing Android Studio...which is not needed at all to finalize the assignments. All needed data is anyway included in the task, you just have to read whole instruction till the end. Overall - I cannot say that it was waste of time, as it helped to refresh knowledge about some aspects of software architecture but if I would be you reading this review, I would search for another course.

I am a bit disappointed. I did not mean, that the course is not useful, but most of the material is blurred, incoherent, out of the blue, and not presented well. Kruchten's 4+1 View has bad naming, blurry explanations, needs real examples. I asked for clarifications about the material on the forum for Week 2 six times (without answers). You had better check ATAM in the original papers (30+ pages) and Quality Attributes are foggy (Week 3). The solution for the last capstone assignment does not cover half of the assignment (Week 4). There are testing questions for not presented terms. But, the science that is behind the course (Kruchten's Views, UML, ATAM, Architecture types) are very useful, so for me (who never heard of half of them) taking the course worth it. I mean, the course showed me what needs to understand for becoming a better programmer.

Some of the links didn't work. When installing the application I asked for help to solve problems, I did not receive a response. The examples of using the technique from module 4 were not sufficient to complete the task. Judging by the projects that I had to check, many people did not understand how to move from scenario to a utility tree. A lot of theory and terms without explanation of how this knowledge will be useful in practice. Only the first model has been worked out in detail (with questions during the video, tasks for self-fulfillment). Modules 2 and 3 are just a set of videos about terms. Tests do not show a practical understanding of the topic, but only how well the student remembered the terms. The course is good for getting acquainted with terminology, with UML diagrams. For real architectural design, it gives very little.

I stucked at step " Capstone Assignment 3.2 – Draw a Deployment Diagram" due to the source code using the TOOOO old version 4

Theory and useless UML. Not recommended for experienced specialists. Academic approach and no value

No se dan los suficientes ejemplos para facilitar la asimilación de la materia.
