It's arguably one of the best Javascript courses you can find on the internet. It covers all the basics and provided a solid foundation which will help you to become a better JS Developer.

amazing in depth course, feel like i have grasped the basics and will go away and practice what i have learnt. I like how there are videos, readings and tasks to complete to keep it varied.

Just the right amount of challenging assignments. Inspired me to research topics in depth on my own. However, the grading was frustrating at times. I couldn't always figure out why my code wasn't passing even when the output was correct. Thankfully there was a lot of helpful guidance from the discussion boards. <3

I had to give many attempts to clear the graded assessment though all the conditions and coding wad correct. I coursera purposefully makes multiple attempts even if everything is right. This was a waste of time for me, writing the same code again and again and testing and submitting it for 100 times.

while the course topics are really diverse.. in my opinion more attention was needed on topics related to modules, testing, classes and methods, event listeners which were just skimmed very quickly as opposed to declaring variable, loops and conditional statements etc. which are easier to grasp .

It has lot of good stuff but unfortunately it's not in video format! I can easily view on any other website to read the same content. Also, there should be more programming labs. Lot of quiz have incorrect answers as well. It's a good entry-level course but could be better.

I found tis to be very challenging and I often dreaded that fact that I hadnt anyone to inquire and seek understanding from. Im definitely will have to study more in my personal time to feel super confindent in this language.

It includes more theory and less coding. we need more coding so that we understand more easily. Besides this, some topics are not in much detail. Weeks 1, 2, and 3 are good but weeks 4, and 5 need some more detailed content

Good coverage of topics, but explanations lack depth and many topics are covered a bit hastily and superficial. There is one assignment where the auto grader seems broken, which is very frustrating.

Tests' and other instructions are hard to understand especially the extra jargons. I wish instructors were to use further simplified english for participants who are new to coding .

Good for start, but mostly a lot of bla-bla and less practice. The course will give you some knowledge but again without practice you forget a half of what you have just watched

Too many new concepts for such a short time. I do not think it is possible to someone with no previous experience in programming to complete the course within the alloted time.

Boring. Really weird definitions of "functional" programming. A lot of useless content that doesn't really add any value to those interested in learning FE.

Sometimes they do not explain the thing clearly and I was really confused when I had to write a test. This course is good but still need improvement

Can be overwhelming and hard to understand as a beginner, you might find Youtube and other resources helpful alongside.

The evaluations of the projects are awful, I've been trying to pass many times and yet I don't know where's the error.

more in depth explanation for testing, nodejs, npm and better assignment system would make it a lot better

I thought this was a really difficult section. They threw a lot of information in especially in week 3.

This course is very much less about javascript itself and it provides less high level javascript.

The "Arrays and Object Iteration" assignment was too finicky and the feedback for it was bad.

For absolute beginners to programming in general ok. Programming assignments are very easy.

Could have thought a little more advance topics like call, apply and bind menthods.
