About the Course

This course is for everyone. In the new world we live in, coding is a universally valuable skill, whether you're a scientist, artist, or a humanist. Algorithms are everywhere, and we all have to understand how they work. The C language is particularly well suited as an introduction to coding: It's a tried-and-true language, and it allows you to understand computing processes at a deep level. No prior knowledge of coding is needed for this course. We'll start at the beginning. The time estimated time commitment for this course is five hours a week for five weeks....

I am really happy I did this course. The instructor is a really experienced teacher. This course gave a good start for learning the fundamentals and moving onto complex programming languages like C++.

Great course to gain a foundation in C programming! The video lectures, coding examples, and peer reviewing of assignments allows one to learn quick and in real time. Would definitely recommend it.

This course was great. Highly recommend for beginners and people wanting to learn the C language. Videos and assignments were a great way to learn. Some questions on the quizzes were not very clear, so it would be nice if those were rephrased. Overall great course!

This was a great course to do. I just have one recommendation that please don't let our answer be checked by other student as I got 5 marks for an assignment that I completed correctly (I just followed what you taught.).

Thank you for such a great course.

Very good introduction to C programming, despite some slight error in the course materials. In the final quiz, there a re a couple of things that I tried to actually write and compile and that give a result different from the one flagged as correct.

Some topics in homework are not covered in the classes and then we have to review some other's people homework when we don't know if we are doing it right. How do we know what's the right way to do it? if we don't understand it completely?

Mr. Pohl is a great lecturer and it was a pleasure to listen him explaining the material.

However, some assignments and quizes contain either poor/wrong explanation of what you need to do in those tasks.

Anyway, a great course. Let's go on!

Very Solid introduction, has very small mistakes that should be looked at to improve the experience, there should also be a little more instruction for the final assignment as it had a difficulty spike compared to the other assignments

Great intro to C, but instructor leaves a lot out and thus a lot of the assignments require a ton of outside research. More little assignments demonstrating each concept would go a long way in making this course that much better.

Really a good course for basic C, def not for beginners though. Went very fast over fundamental concepts. Coming from another language will be a piece of cake! Well taught and I will be taking the second course he offers in C.

It was a bit easy. One who has previous coding knowledge, it is easier for them to understand. But if you have no idea at all.. Then it will be a bit difficult to understand you might need extra digging to clear your concepts.

Although I think the teachers are amazing, when they show you screenshots of Scratch and how-to tutorials, the picture quality is too blurry to see the screen clearly. I had to drop out because I wasn't able to follow along

Great and simple to understand and follow, Dr. Pohl does a great job at explaining. Some of the things needed to complete the assignments were left out, but that's nothing a simple google search can't solve. Overall Good.

Excellent course to review/learn basics of C. There were a couple issues with unclear questions in the exam and, sadly, as always with Coursera courses, forums filled with requests to have assignments peer reviewed.

This course is really good for earning basics of C programming langauge as it was my 1st C course but I learnt a lot through this course and the instructor is also good at teaching and using all practical concepts.

Some section of the course begins where the instructor assumes that you know the topic already. At some lectures the instructor claims to have discussed the topic but there is no such lecture where it was taught.

The content of hte course is very good. The most important programming topics for C are very well explained. The presentation could be improved. In general I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn C.

A rigorous and challenging introduction to C. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn C from someone who obviously has deep knowledge about the language and how it is actually used by professionals.

It is good, but I think that if the professor was studying directly on the program without writing, it would be better, in addition, the line was not clear. Thank you for your efforts, I learned well from him

not use advance software or simple to learn in easy way My suggestion is use of dev c++ for easy method Thanks a lot for provide us best course also suggested for specialization once again thanks

This was an excellent content, but i don't believe its for abosolute beginner to coding as i faced some problem but if you do take extra effort to understand, its one of the best content available.

The course its a great opportunity to start into C programming but I hope the tutorials at week 4, 5 in particular like pointers, arrays being more clearly and competative! beside assignment!

Great course..could add more mcq quizes to ensure undrstanding of consepts.

The course might be a little bit hard for someone who doesn't have any knowledge about computing or programing .

Its good course but there is 1 problem. There are too many plagiators just cheating through this course. I got probably 1 proper assignment out of 5. Rest was copy-paste from internet.

The assignments sometimes may not be clearly stated. But I respect the professor about the way he guides you through the basics concept in C with his dedication and wisdom!
