I didn't find the specialization and this course in particular useful. It has low quality videos, unstructured information, and doesn't give enough knowledge to start working.

Also, the last course of the specialization requires background in programming, otherwise you will not be able to complete the specialization.

The instructor never really used their industry experience to make the class unique. It was basically ready slides and memorizing vocab. Also, the instructor kept saying "he" when referring to software developers.

Lecturers' instructions were very very hard to understand. Very vague explanations. Explanations were not beginner friendly and you need a lot of experiences and knowledge about the topic as prerequisites. Again, that would just defeat the purpose of learning the course as beginners do not know about the topic in the first place and people who already know about the topics would never attempt to join the course. And the worst of all is asking students to do length assignment after a few minutes of lecture videos. And peer review system is a joke. Considering the value of the certificate, it's not worth it for anyone to invest that much time for peer-reviewing or doing said assignments.

this course is just a repeat of all the information of the previous course of this specialization. The instructor shows no passion, he just read all the script, which can easily found anywhere on the internet. Moreover, the instructor read the script with a really boring voice, like he almost falls to asleep during the lecture, if anyone wants to pay for this course, I recommend just read the syllabus and find all the information on google, clearly more effective, and less time consuming than participate in this course. Coursera has many good and well build course, but not this course. Please consider carefully before pay for this poorly build course

This course is way to long for its content.

The Indian accent is difficult to listen to.

Questions are not worded correctly so that answers are wrong while being right.

Assignments are given, but it is not clear what quality the assignments should have. Do I spend 1 hour, 2, or a day?

Sometimes the trainer strands in word-salad like Joe Biden.

This was not a training I enjoyed.

The course material is very poor and most of the time the lecturer is just reading the slide. Not worth the money. Also, the last assignment grading process is ridiculous people are not providing reliable grades and such useless feedback.
