I've taken several courses on Coursera, but this is by far the best. The instructor is clearly extremely knowledgeable, and is very good at imparting that knowledge. I wish I'd had instructors like this at school and college. Only one minor critique, and that is that one of the quizzes has several questions about a topic before the topic is actually discussed. Otherwise perfect.

Very helpful insights in the SDLC topic, Learned many things on how to design and develop software systems. Learn the different types of model and how each unique model has their own flows and importance. This was a really informative and fun training.

The professor is a great storyteller and he's had plenty of experience in the software development industry. His lectures are practical and informative. I really enjoyed this specialization and its courses.

Engaging presentation and food for thoughts. Although high level, I found the course worthwhile even as an experienced software engineer.

This course helped me to generate interactive classroom through the use of SDLC, and formative assessment and feedback.

This has been a thought provoking and educational course for me. Glad I took this course.

To be honest

This is the most lazily created course I ever met (not only on coursera)

Do you really think I didn't read wikipedia page about Software design before enrolling a specialization related to it?

Videos are full of superficial information, nothing applicable.

Some pictures in the lectures have low resolution and almost anreadable, one lecture has at least 10 seconds of dying UPS sound in background.

Quizes are awful they don't check understanding, but how I remembered in which year waterfall was created. And the Idea of creating 5 more quizes from random subsets of the same set of questions is really bad idea.

I comparing this one with specialization of University of Alberta and I'm surprised by such big difference in knowledge thy provide

Hope so much other three courses of this specialization are much better than this one.

I can't recommend this course. The videos are fine, but nothing you couldn't look up on youtube. The quizes aren't helpful for learning and there's no other ways to "test" what you learn. One week's "external readings" just points to a wikipedia page. There's nothing here you couldn't learn for free on youtube or blog sites.

Good Afternoon Sir !

It is my First Experience to Join any online course and Successful completion of Course.

Course content was excellent . I have learned many new things.

And i hope i will learn great new things in further courses.

Thank you ,Thank you Very Much Sir

The course was well organized and the presentations flowed coherently. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining a beginners insight into the software development lifecycle.

Fue buena experiencia el conocer los métodos usados antes y compararlos con los actuales, los conocimientos de seguridad necesarios y como todo está ligado a esto.

Professor is very intelligent, I like the way he is sharing his real time experiences in the course.

As a developer, I will say that it was known, but interesting. Structures thoughts.

Me gusto mucho el curso, aprendí mucho y recordé temas que no tenia tan frescos

the quiz question sometimes make me confused to answer, but its okay :(

Great course. The concepts are put across with clarity and insight.

The instructor knows what he is saying. Very informative course.
