Great approach to the theoretical part of programming, however a bit too theoretical though. There could be more hands-on activites other than only the Labs

Wonderful Course. Very informative. Everyone who wants to know about Software Engineering process, tools of trade, domains in software engineering and typical office activities of a software engineer must go through this course. I really want to pay thanks to the IBM team. They have really done a wonderful job. Designing a course like this requires a lot of hard work and dedication.

Excelente contenido, es muy entretenido y tiene exactamente lo que una persona egresada de una ingeniería en mecatrónica y que esta empezando en el mundo de la ingeniería de software necesita. Solo hay un pequeño detalle en algunas traducciones de los videos pero son solo algunos detalles, fuera de eso me pareció un curso muy ilustrativo

I liked the course! It would help if you fetch more examples from real life in each module. For example - SDLC applications, and documentations example of software. Hands-on experience with diagrams. I think it is vital if a person wants to become a software engineer.

Great introduction! Even if I had a lot of training related to software engineering, I learned a lot of new things. They also explained things very well, and using real-life comparisons. I believe I can explain abstract concepts a lot easier to others.
