Well done. Feel ready to keep going. Instructor was easy to understand and follow. I did see a few questions in quiz not covered but was able to understand them through the informative links provided.

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.

Clear lectures. Good information. The instructor made clear the difference between mandatory elements and suggestions for good code. Downside: sometimes the extra readings were difficult to find, since links were provided at the beginning of the course, but without describing when certain chapters should be read before which quiz.

For me, the actual coding came too late. I suggest coding bits directly after instruction videos, instead of at the end. Also, I suggest recreating a larger website. The final assignment was very interesting. I only learnt about the <section> tag during that assignment. In all, not bad. I especially liked the big final puzzle.

It was a very nice course overall. The explanations are all crisp and examples are ample. Instructor speaks at a nice pace and explains concepts sensibly. The only thing that could've been better is more practise assignments and hands-on for students. I am grateful to Coursera and UMich for allowing me to pursue this course.

Overall, good course. I learned a lot about html tags, the need for understanding semantics, syntax, and accessibility. Only issue I had was that some of the questions for quiz and grading rubric need to be corrected. Other students mentioned the need for corrections in the forums. Thanks for having this course available.

Excellent course for someone who has NO plans to be web-developer but knows that internal operations of modern web needs understanding to communicate with technical/customer community if/when issues arise. Or other other opportunities are ;possible to exploit the web-knowledge for future applications - especially 5G/IoT.

Good course! Teaches necessary HTML skills and gives awareness about the various HTML tags of different categories along with providing references for additional information. The course also stresses on accessibility issues and helps learners build well accessible webpages along with ensuring that their codes are valid.

Nice course! The take on accessibility is what I found the most interesting one. Whenever I had been through any introductory materials on web design or any designs, I had not even encountered accessibility as a topic. Thank you for getting me into thinking about not only building workable websites, but accessible ones.

This course builds the fundamentals about HTML5. What I like about this course is that the instructor explains everything clearly in details. This course is perfect for designers like myself who need basic knowledge about coding and people who are interested in web development. I am going to continue to study CSS3.

Excellent, clear and to the point. It is good to see a focus on both standards compliance and accessibility, that latter al too often being ignored. Covers a fair amount of ground in three weeks but has fairly narrow ambitions; to make the most of this one needs to view it in the context of the full specialisation.

The topics are greatly explained with proper study materials being available. Quiz and regular assessments are highly helpful in keeping track of your learning. Overall a good and well balanced course for beginners. The final project also helps you to revisit the important concepts taught throughout the course.

Conceptually very complete, clear regarding the importance of accessibility and the correct use of the elements in the design. Update some concepts and elements available. Maybe increase examples (graphics, videos, etc,) and explanations in the practical part. Attitude and expression of the speaker, very good.

It was a great learning experience. It would have been better if the videos were more and the reading material was less. Also, it would have been better if the instructor coded in front of us and not just display the code she had previously written, although it would have increased the length of the videos.

This course is good step for one who is new in web developing field and wants to explore html5 tags.
While i am hoping to be a developer by taking this course and this takes me in right direction to be a developer .
Assignments and project are well scheduled for assessment of course and very well planned.

I like this course very much. Some of the tags I wasn't familiar with, so I have to go to another website to learn what the tags are about. I am still learning how to use the tags correctly and put them in the correct setting. I would like everyone to enroll in this course to know the basics of HTML5.

I thought the course was great! I understood the lectures well and was able to get coding quickly and efficiently. I also appreciated the emphasis on accessibility. The only note: one of the lectures of validation is actually after already have done some validation, but might be more useful before it.

Excellent teacher and material. The course felt a bit short and I wish there were more assessments and opportunities to actually code, which is where I learned the most. After completing this course, though, the world of coding does not seem so scary and I have the confidence to go further into it.

Excellent Course and Instructor! I would highly recommend this course to any new student interested in learning more about HTML and web development. The course is designed to provide the student with an introductory knowledge of HTML coding and introduces concepts in a very easy to understand manner.

It is very unsatisfying that the most important part of the course - the final coding practice - works the way it does. I suppose it is crucial for every student to have his or her work validated somehow. And the situation when your work is either completely right or completely wrong surprised me.

It made me know many things I didn't knew before and wanted to know. The course design was really so good to make sure you learn in the best possible way. But I must tell ya that those readings took much more time for me than mentioned, but once I did'em everything was on its place, making sense.

A lot of repetitive information here, throughout each lesson. I was expecting a bit more coding opportunities. However, I'm not new to HTML and think this is still a good introduction for brand-brand new coders (like ages 12-15). Good refresher for those out of it for a decade or so (like me).

I learned a lot of new things, although I am not a beginner. But I think for a newbie this course is a little tough. It would have been great if I got something to share about my accomplishment in the free version too. But may be that's asking too much! On the whole I am happy with the course.

It was very interesting and easy to learn the course. I highly recommend this course for those people who want to learn web development but are a complete beginner. I have a suggestion though if it's possible can we have one more lesson above the most commonly used tags and its attributes.

Basic introduction to HTML5. Though there were some issues with final project submission etc. but it was a good start in the world of HTML5. Also, when coupled with the other two courses of CSS3 and Javascript, it would really be a dangerous combination. Looking forward for other courses.

I think it was a good overview of the subject and instilled good practices. I feel like the instructor should have involved the student with a little more hands-on coding throughout the course to get a better feel for it. Otherwise it was very informative and I learned some good things.

Amazing course for beginners just starting their web development journey. Though I do feel that if you are already familiar with HTML and looking for an intermediate level of understanding then I personally feel that the book mentioned in the course is better that the course itself :)
