I'm dropping out of a specialisation I paid for because the quality of the materials is really low, and the presentation is very similar. I don't want to discourage the presenters, but this is not the level I expected.

By Sanele on 27-Mar-16

many outdated instructionsinexperienced tutors who almost never explain why things are done in a certain way

It looks like a youtube review and not a real course

By RANJITH R on 1-Nov-15

The video lectures are not very polished, and I think it would have been better to have a few longer videos than so many short ones.

Switching back and forth between Linux and Android is going to be problematic. It adds an unnecessary complexity to the course and adds extra skill set requirements which were not mentioned as needed ahead of time. While they say you can choose one or the other, later lessons will only use one or the other (it switches) and this causes issues if you actually intend to follow along and learn something.

The material used in this course is not totally updated, like the NDK and JNI sections. Also, coding material could be a little behind and may cause problems when importing into Android IDE and trying to making it work.

Instructor has lack of knowledge. They are not subject matter expert and they tried to deliver their best.
