About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand
how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some
background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory
(what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the
overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a stro...

This course was very interesting and helpful in the initialization of web development also the course instructor is very good she delivers her knowledge up to maximum possibilities and also motivates.

I really enjoyed everything about this course. I thought the exercises/quizzes were fair and the instructor showed me many things that will serve me well going forward. Great course, great instructor!

If there had been a working autograder for the last final project this course would have been worth it somehow.

What does that mean?

- The lectures provided valuable information.

- The quizzes generally made sense (in relation to the lectures).

- Learning how to code wasn't really possible.

Why is that?

- There is only one programming assignment.

- The autograder doesn't give any feedback at all why resp. where things go wrong. That's everything but good style (for software as well as for learning).

- Code snippets can't be tested individually. That's very bad behavior in programming.

- At the end working code that meets the teached rules is marked as wrong. You are lost without any clue.

So probably you can learn something. Unfortunately you can't possibly finish the course with a feeling of success.

It needs updated and more structured lessons. The teaching is too all over the place, links broken, outdated sites and modules need to be taught on a better timeline that corresponds to lessons better in a corresponding way, i.e., learning the meaning, explanation, and lists of things before the coding and labwork, tests not after the lesson is finished. When the instructor said she was not a good teacher, she really was correct.

The lectures get you through the basics in a clear, understandable way.

But the auto-grader was really a bad idea, that got the lecturer into a lot of trouble for very little gain if any.

It seems to me that peer-reviewed assessments, with proper instructions, are better suited. Apart from being more reliable and less frustrating, I think the learner can really get more out of it.

Professor was good and insightful but the course was extremely poorly curated and obnoxiously boring.

I had to grit my teeth hard to go through this course. The information provided in this course is unnecessarily extended by a huge margin and all of the information can be skimmed down massively.

The course is good for beginners, thats true, but there is no operative support with technical issues. I wasted 3 days waiting for "Final Quiz" from 3 week of HTML course will be available to complete because images of the quiz questions were not visible at all.

More interactive assignments using the parser would have been great. As it stands, the quizzes had mostly relevant content, but the lessons were anything but engaging. Having Colleen talk at the camera for 5-12 minutes per video got tedious really quick.

It may be a 5 weeks course with a more slow learning, because we see some tags in a second and it passes. And the autograder works really bad. I do not know where I fail but I failed all the questions. A peer grader would be nice for the final project.

Thank you for you time and for everything you did.

As an introduction, I did not find that there's need to talk about the hosting and the other things related to this topic. It would be better if the instructor went deeper into the HTML5.

The teacher is excellent.

This is excellent but poor introduction to HTML.

The course, which is part of specialization should be much more detailed. With much more axamples. I think it is not worth 49$.

This course was clearly not ready. The autograder for the final project was.. a complete fail. It was not a fun experience trying to change around my code to figure out what the autograder wanted.

The lectures and assignments questions are more about the history of the internet and HTML. although I've finished the course but it wasn't as good as i thought.

Extremely basic, yet some of the concepts and their applications weren't well explained in the videos. I found the accompanying text to be dense and unclear.

Not very clear in some parts and the videos stopping for that style of questioning is annoying. The optional reading was much more useful than the required.

Didnt like a lot of theory and less coding, when it comes to coding, you have to dig yourself for data, so so

Unlike the HTML course which precedes it, this course was lacking information and structure.

too much theory instead of practice. Get bored pretty quickly. Might try another course

Too little coding and too many talking.

It's better to learn HTML 5 with youtube videos.

The Courses could be more practical oriented rather than theory and theory.
