By Kiselyov A on 23-May-19

Nice course, but the impression about practical tasks is really awful. The tasks are ok, but grading system is too buggy

By Mykola K on 23-Aug-19

I wish there were more practice

By Paulo H C on 13-Jul-19

Lack of clarity on how to answer questions both in quiz and programming

By Marco G on 5-Dec-18

The videos are good, it's just the assignments that are frustrating.I spent at least 10 times as long trying to get them to pass the autograder as I did solving them.You need to improve this aspect of the course if you're expecting 4 or 5-star reviews :)

By Martin T on 26-Sep-18

The assignments are not clear and the teacher support is poor (despit the slack channel being a welcome improvement!).
