The course covers a lot of topics, implements challenges and hands-on coding labs, and balances readings with videos. The knowledge learned is relevant and applicable. The way the knowledge is covered is quick, so you'll need to spend some time on your own practicing each concept and idea, especially if you're new to coding (which I'm not). What takes this course from a 5 star to a 4 star is that its automated grading for coding labs is unreliable. Sometimes, they work as they should and you don't have much issues once you follow the instructions. Other times, you will likely have to experiment with different syntaxes or check the discussions and find someone who managed to pass. This isn't because the coding lab is hard, but because it doesn't tell you why you're failing. Otherwise, a pretty good course.

First, I would like to express my overall satisfaction with the course content. The information provided was detailed, comprehensive, and covered all relevant aspects of the topic. The clear and concise explanations allowed me to understand the concepts effectively. However, I believe that the course would be highly benefited from the inclusion of a greater number of practical exercises. Despite the quality of the theoretical material, the lack of opportunities to put what I learned into practice made it somewhat difficult to assimilate and internalize the knowledge. In my opinion, the incorporation of varied practical exercises, such as problem-solving, project work, or real-case simulations, would allow students to consolidate their learning and apply the concepts more effectively.

The course provides a lot of useful and well-structured information and actually builds skills, so I'm ihappy with it in general. I would add on the grumpy side that some rigorous material (testing, handling errors) is given given way too superficially, that additional reading is clearly on another level and adds nothing to my understanding of this course, and that the presentation looks human emotion. (Labs are much more fun with the guy you don't do 't see than the videos because the latter may as well be read by a robot )

That said, I don't regret taking it and believe its a worthwhile investment of time

The course is very thorough and well-built! My only critique is that sometimes the examples are a little too complicated for someone learning to code. I've taken a previous coding boot camp so I already understood a lot of what was being taught but I had many moments where I understood what I was shown but only because I had previous knowledge to fall back on. Other than that, this is the best course I've come across so thank you for the course and for contributing to my education.

This course was really insightful and helped me learned a lot of new things in an organized manner which were difficult before. I built a whole js virtual bank system using the object oriented programming concepts taught (it was my favourite module). However, I think there were some concepts which would would have been better if they were explained a bit more in detail. Overall, the combination of viewing, listening and reading and practicing materials was great! Loved it.

The final Project Grading system isn't too great at pointing out your errors! it gave me 13% because I had one extra space on my console.log output but the error suggested that my logic was somewhat flawed. I was stuck for 3 hours trying to understand my logic error until I formatted the console.log output using string template ${value} which wasn't even what they instructed in the final project then I was able to get 100%. Other than the course content is amazing!

The course is very good and well taught I would love to thank the lecturers and everyone behind the scenes for providing me with this amazing opportunity and Im very grateful for this, and I just hope that theres want so much reading because there was a few hard complex words used while reading which was a bit difficult for me to grasp.I felt I needed to understand a bit more in detail. But overall a fantastic job and amazing work non the less. Well Done!

I think this was a good course in javascript. You can obviously get more learning with JavaScript by making more projects, but I feel like the purpose of this course was to lay a good foundation to then make applications with JavaScript. I also encountered one test where the results just graded my test incorrectly, I went to the video and answered what the instructor said word for word and it was still wrong, but this thankfully only happened once.

There were and still are a LOT of issues with this course, including but not limited to: Grammatical errors, Grading errors, Clarification errors (Unclear questions/tasks), and some outright wrong or missing pieces in the course. If you really want, it does help a lot and you can REALLY learn, but it can get infuriating when you do everything correct and still get a failing grade due to a single Space " ".

The programming assignments need to be improved. Instead of providing a readme file, the assignment should be interactive. Or the sentence structure and wording of the assignments tasks needs to be improved to help students write better code. I spent a lot of time debugging why the tests were not passing and it was because of unfamiliar debugging sentence and structure used in the readme file.

It was a comprehensive beginner introduction to Javascript. I enjoyed the content very much although I do have to take a star away for some of the quiz questions answers accepting the wrong answer and one question that had an outdated answer. Please go and fix these, they are confusing and annoying. Other than that, I highly recommend this course as a great introduction to JS.

The course covers basic JavaScript and its concept enough for you to apply its features for your uses. Moreover, they have introduced basic concepts of testing with Jest, and that's a great thing to know for further development in a real working environment. However, because the course has just covered the basics, you must self-discover more of JavaScript's other features.

It is a very good course for a beginner who is starting to learn javaScript and after completing this course you will have the foundation of building interactive user interfaces and then you can explore how to do that on the internet. It would have been more better if they include assignments such as making a website interactive in the final graded assignment.

it was a very good course and I discovered several concepts, but the grading system is so faulty it can't recognize the code that I wrote unless it is written in a way that it understand it, like good formatting and literal spaces between the console.log strings and variables. I think they must enhance this system as it is causing a lot of frustration!

This course teaches you JavaScript from scratch and best for beginners. But this course simply does not provide enough coding problems and challenges or programming assignments in Javascript to test your creativity. Some errors in grading assignments are also there. But overall, this course is best to learn the basics if you are new to this like me.

Course is good, but in the study material there are many spelling mistakes and also even some of the questions in the graded quizzes are wrong. Even if I select correct answer, the system says they are wrong, try checking again and correct them, due to this mistakes, we are not able to get full grades, that is 100%, so fix them and make it right.

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.
