I'm an experienced software engineer, and I'm pleasantly surprised how great this course is at removing the unnecessary parts to present what is needed to work as an engineer in an organization

Overall best course and the way instructors teach or engaged us is literally well and good every single concept is clear from basic, and assignments are also good for practice. Quality course.

The course is well structured and comprehensive. My only feedback is that a lot of times on the assignments the purpose is to reproduce the task with the exact same knowledge and skills you acquired in the modules. Sometimes different ways of writing the code, even though correct, were not graded as successful if different of what was expected.

Excellent course, with lots and lots and lots of information to be learned, at times challenging almost solely because the auto grader for code is absolutely awful, and makes it nigh impossible to tell what you did wrong even when your output is the exact same as what it says it should be. Besides that frustration, it is quite a good course.

This course on JavaScript is simply outstanding! 🤩 It provides a comprehensive understanding of the core concepts that form the building blocks of JS. The course materials and videos are impeccably organized, making learning a breeze. However, there are some minor issues with the lab assignment submission process that could be improved.

This course was overall good and easy to follow, providing a foundation to learn JavaScript. However, it could have delved deeper into certain topics to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Nonetheless, it was a valuable learning experience for beginners seeking an accessible introduction to JavaScript.

what a great course.

I learned so much, but maybe... the coursera graded assignments do not work perfectly..

many many times I struggled to pass the assignment even though there were no mistakes at all,

only the formatting style was not good for the compiler so I got many 0/100...

but teacher were great, very good explanations

Excellent course.

The only flaw is in the programming exercises it marks some correct solutions as wrong.

Sometimes following the instructions would lead to the solution to be marked as "wrong" and I had to use methods other than the instructed ones in order for the test to pass.

This is unacceptable and should be fixed.

Great course. The lessons, the readings, and the exercises are clear, easy to follow, very informative, and useful. But there are troubles with assessments, especially in 4 and 5 weeks, - they have a lot of mistakes and situations when it is required to give acceptable (even wrong) answers for getting max result.

Although some things which pop up on tests are not addressed in the lessons, this is a very good course for someone with at least some experience coding. For an absolute beginner, I could see this being fairly confusing. I was happy that it was somewhat advanced as I have been using Javascript for over 5 years.

Could be a little more advanced. The topics covered are too entry-level and lacks depth, I wished it spent a lot more time on DOM manipulation and testing since they are the most important lessons here. The course spends too much time on basic programming principle instead of programming with JavaScript.

Course was a very useful introduction to JavaScript, with a ton of relevant coding opportunities and examples. Not a 5 star because of the difficulties with the auto-grader. If the tests could be a bit more lenient to accept different programming techniques, that would help a lot.

Amazing content at a fast pace, unfortunately the grading system needs to be re-looked at in order to be 5 stars. If you get stuck, and believe you are correct there is no way to confer with a developer about why you got a fail on an assignment. Overall great course however!

does a good job at introducing concepts but i felt like the programming assignments did not challenge us enough, the assignments were too basic. Maybe they should add optional programming assignments that are tougher so that we can hone in on our newly acquired js skills.

Course is of very high quality and is amazing for in depth learning and understanding of JS however within the content there are a few mistakes. Additionally, sometimes the way the assignments are graded are a bit unfair (e.g you can miss out a space and get marked down)

OOP could have been more detailed. also more content is in readings instead of videos. I think it should be vise-versa as videos feed you with more knowledge in less time. This course is great for learning for beginners but does not have much for experts/intermediates

Excellent part on introduction to testing (with Jest)! Very clear and fun to make. Challenge may not be challenging enough though. The oop part is very concise but may be hard for newcomers to OOP, but it's perfect for a refresher if you already knows the OOP concepts

This course gave me good baseline knowledge on Javascript to help in my daily adventures. It really helped bridge constructors, and syntax to allow me to not only read the javascript that I'm interacting with, but to be able to create my own unique functions as well!

Good beginner course that touches on key programming paradigms including testing. However, there's a serious problem with the autograder that is frustrating and leads to wasting at least 1 hour per exercise. Plus some of the exercises are not defined the right way.

overall good course with a clear structure, good explanations of different topics and lots of helpful references. Would have rated 5 stars if it weren't for the odd mistake in quizzes or coding exercises, which make it (almost) impossible to pass on the first try

The course is really good for those who has some experience in other programming languages and It might be difficult for beginners.

The videos are concise and to the point, saves a lot of time. The programming exercises are also great, providing adequate practise.

There's a lot of content and value in this course. Would be nice to have more practice. Also, some of the tests answers are written in a way that makes it harder to know the answer. Beside all that it's a good introduction and many many things to keep learning.

Javascript is hard, and getting harder. . . The module practice is not enough, it is recommended to use additional reading materials for practice. Until you truly understand the foundation of Javascript then you can think about joining the next module.

Good course They had started with basics and moved to adanced concepts too but it doesnt stops only with completing course we need to practise in depth to master javascript anyways thanks for meta organisation for getting an valuable certificate🎓

There are a few errors here and there that still need to be addressed and ironed out. There are also some spelling errors in the transcripts of the videos too. While a good course, it could be much better with some of these problems addressed.

The course is overall good and a success. But needs more elaboration and explanation on certain core topics. For being one of the longest parts of the Professional Certificate, I do believe the material should have been a bit more digestible.

Overall this was great course.However, there was not much information available on JavaScript's DOM manipulation. Adding few lectures on JavaScript's DOM is not enough. Rather, whole comprehensible section should be available for DOM
