I was very frustrated and almost wanted to give up. The structure of the course is really misleading. It pushes students to complete the sleuth game in week 1, making it seem like finishing the game is required before moving on. There’s no clear indication that we’re supposed to come back to it after weeks 2 and 3, which makes the flow of learning very confusing. The fact that the theory behind key concepts like initializing objects and working with events is only covered in later weeks, after we’re expected to have finished the game, is a major flaw. It doesn’t make sense to require us to complete an advanced task before teaching the necessary skills. On top of that, issuing a certificate of completion after just finishing the sleuth game by week 1, without even touching weeks 2 and 3, creates even more confusion. The course should have better guidance and clearer progression to avoid misleading students.

I am giving this course a single star review because Coursera charged me for the course twice. I signed up for a monthly subscription for this course and I finished it in three weeks. A week after I was finished I was charged again. Why am I being charged for a course that I've completed!? To make matters worse, I cannot even go through the process of requesting a refund because Coursera's link ( "Learner Help Center") for requesting help or refunds is BROKEN. Everytime I click on the link, it logs me out and brings me to the home page. The fact that I have no way of speaking or receiving any help with this issue is not right. I feel robbed.

I tried to audit the course as it is advertised as part of the University of London thousands of pounds worth Bachelor degree program in pop up windows on Coursera, as I was curious. I found the instructions in the first videos confusing, the versions of Brackets provided in the instructions don't run as shown in the videos, I get errors all the time, can't figure out what's wrong or how to ask questions, it's not clear where the examples (like 'sketch') is taken from. It's very confusing right from the start and I was hoping this was for the beginners like myself.

I'm sorry, but this course is absolutely horrible. I've taken many other courses on this platform provided by different organizations, but this one is among the worst. If you're thinking of starting a career in programming or computer science, don't enroll in this course! Don’t set yourself up for frustration. It will ruin any potential enjoyment you could have in learning to code. The assignments are poorly structured, despite following the instructions and doing them correctly, you’ll waste your time redoing them countless times until you run out of attempts.

you guys need to fix your sleuth app. many people have commented on the discussion forum on all the bugs your app has and it keeps failing people for no reason and not once has anyone addressed the situation or at least put in a way to flag a failed problem for review by an actual person its very frustrating and many people including me cant pass the class without this assignment but it keeps failing us after we've done everything right so what do you expect us to do??? please do something about this!!

This course is a total disappointment. I'm dissapointed in Coursera for bringing such an outdated and damaged files like this. I download Bracket and use the recommend files for learning but they're not working at all. It has passed the refund date due to the policy and I can't get my money back. Can't contact Coursera, no direct support although paying for the fee. Please support refund, switch my course or Coursera will be on my black-list and no recommendation from now on.

The Sleuth programme is really poorly implemented - many of the "fails" - as are continually highlighted in the discussion but have yet to be addressed - are not fails, see case 201 stage 4. Its an entirely subjective answer on what is "close enough". Countless hours wasted. Overall, a poor way to attempt to teach extremely primitive concepts. You learn more about the p5.js Library than you do about fundamental concepts of programming.

They leave their assigned coding courses unfinished, such as their Sleuth assessments. Wasted my time. Worst of all, this is a graded assessment for our school. They have so many errors in their code, and I try to finish something that's physically impossible to finish.

The first stage of each case is fine because there are videos to explain them, but once you move onto other stages past the first, these stages become mentally painful. No instructions or theory are given and it's such a waste of time.

You better of taking the Duke course which is more detailed when it comes to JavaScript and you can pick up HTML and CSS on the side for front end development

Very Poor. Links not working, using examples for us to code with that don't work. Course needs work. Will frustrate new people. Does not teach anything.

This course is incredibly unorganized, the download folders don't match the lectures, and there is not enough information given as you try to follow along.

Sleuth assessment isnt really good. Tons of users (including me) complaining that they solved the task but still getting error message.

Very upsetting that Brackets would not work for me on Windows. I really wanted to learn but the outdated program wouldn't allow me to.

Sleuth & Co Autograder is not working correctly and gives incomplete or failing grades despite having the correct code and output.

The assignment in week 1 is unreasonable.

You should have told students how much time is needed to finish the assignment of week 1.

Can't finish the course due to Brackets no longer being supported and the download provided not having the required items.

Technical Issue .. I Successfully submit the assignment but there is no grade uploaded and not given a certificate

I am a computer programmer with 25 years of experience and the worst way to teach programming.

Content Not aligned with the quiz, which was very difficult

its very bad course i dont recommend it

very hard and bad course

I didnt learn at all

too hard

Bad
