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

Overall it was okay, but...

There were a few pieces of information that were factually incorrect in bizarre ways, like the claim that JavaScript is case-insensitive, or that interpreted languages are only for small scripted tasks and not for building applications. Did they copy that out of a textbook from 1995?

Many of the quiz and test questions were fixated on the exact wording of arbitrary sentences in the course material rather than on the concepts and facts. One of those exact-wording questions even got the exact wording wrong.

This course did not make me want to continue with the rest of the program it's a part of.

Negatives: - This course is not fully compatible with the Edge's "Read aloud" option due to a few error messages & bugs. - Quizes don't show correct answers. - Some of the modules had spelling errors. - The videos don't have the Full Screen toggle option. - Learning how to code in 11 computer languages is unnecessary & needs to be removed or changed. - Lab software has a bunch of bugs and needs to be fixed. Positives: The course has a lot of valuable information to learn. The videos were informative without being lengthy. The quiz questions covered the course content.

The learning videos are not really motivating to watch and the some of the quiz don't use the same terminology. For someone who isn't native in english it's sometimes difficult to select the right answers.

It was good to get started with the key elements of software engineering, but it would have been helpful to get a better overview of all key elements to guide through the course

Great content but should be actual teachers teaching it, I don't like a computerized voice teaching me from pre-made presentations, doesn't seem genuine.
