Java Programming: Principles of Software Design

Many of the assignments in week three were incredibly hard to understand and required scouring the forums to locate where other classmates had to beg instructional staff for assistance. In many instances, the staff agreed that the course had many shortcomings that would be addressed in "upcoming iterations" of the course. However, many of these posts were made up to three years ago, so it made the student feel that not only did the class have errors that the staff did little to address for new cohorts, but also that the updating of the curriculum is not a priority and therefore that the class is now an afterthought.

Bad sources formatting, bad codestyle and bad project design

This course has been fantastic. A step up in difficulty, week 3 in particular was grueling. I learned so many useful things in this course

Poor level of support and detail. Problems are getting hard - not enough resources available.

very thought provoking and in depth course.

Really Helpful course. It helped me a lot to become familiar with the Java language and enlighten me with the fact that java can be used to solve a wide array of problems, which i considered impossible and tricky when i used java earlier.

I loved this course, all the videos and assignments are perfectly directed. now I really have a deeper understanding about Interface. Thank you so much.

amazing material - solid learning for Javaone struggle - discussion boards don't seem to be monitored by staff most of the time - expect to do most on your own without teacher input

My confidence level in Java programming has grown significantly since completing this specialisation. It gave me the necessary knowledge and practice I need to take up a role as a software engineer.

It was harder than expected and was a pleasure to find a solutions.

This course really increased the difficulty in Week 3 and gave poorly written instructions to go along with it. Overall, the course was very interesting and I learned a lot from it. Anyone who is interested in expanding their Java programming skills and write "neater" or "better code, this course is for you.

easy to understand, lots of programming practice
