I dint like the software used for the entire program. The theory should have been told in rather good way. prof. Rodger was good at coding. she coded step by step and practically. the other prof who use to code was just running up like hell. But i was good experience to be a part of Michigan University.

It started fine, but then turned out it's a somewhat weird course. First of all, who uses Oracle Java IDE in the middle of 2010th? Secondly, the course doesn't really follow the OOP and Functional programming guidelines. Overall it's worth it if you are a complete newbie

The course is okay for beginners who are ready to devote more time and energy in supplementing with other materials outside the course. The BlueJ app involves too many steps to getting code output where else you can just click run and get results in other IDEs.

I really dont need this course. I just wanted to take a free trial for 7 days and i checked that it i was charged 76 for a month. I really need a refund. It's only been one day after my trial ended. Please leave me a reply. Email: [email protected]

Good beginner course. While the problems are very straight forward, I felt that they could be quite tedious at times. As an engineer working long hours every day, I felt that the pace was pretty hard to keep up with since I work such long hours

I consider this course of medium quality in terms of teaching style (somewhat narrative-like), the difficulty of assignments (lots of repetitive code writing - not very challenging), and student engagement (I feel lots of code was given out).

This course was overall a good course and taught me a lot of things, but the discussion page wasn't that helpful, as the questions were not being answered regularly. It is for this reason i am giving this course 3 out of 5 stars.

The course focuses on the logic behind programming and the assignments are very helpful to exercise what we have learnt. It would be more helpful if the course focuses on the syntax of Java programming also.

The instructors are genuinely nice but the quizzes are really tough so make sure are making notes and keeping a note of everything,so if you stuck anywhere you can get over it. Overall the course is nice.

Course is more focused on using already provided packages. And also course should be designed for most popular IDE like eclipse, so that beginner get introduced to tools which is widely used in industry.

I'm disappointed this isn't a true beginner course.

Please note you are 10000% expected to know basics of Java or you will be loss. I was trying to use this as a refresher, and it still didn't work.

People must have general idea about the Data types/class/methods/objects/libraries. So, the course is somewhere between beginner & intermediate. But anyway, the instructors explained well!

Not for a beginner level at all , The estimated times for the exercises is so much less than the required the exercises require hours ,, week 2 is difficult and require alot of time:|

Estimates of time needed to complete programming exercises were way off and unrealistic. Course material can be imperfect, confusing, wrong. You can't get help, forums seem useless.

I am using eclipse to perform my java coding and this whole course was on bluej. So I was having some issue because of some built in method in the CSV section. Rest all was 5 star :)

Why must we be forced to use BlueJ? Also, from explanation to problems the learning curve is slightly steep. Would be better with more practical walkthrough coding examples first.

The content is good but they use the 3rd party Java libraries, not the standard one so It makes it pretty much useless as you don't get to learn anything in Java programming.

This course is definitely not for beginners. But people with little knowledge on JAVA or coding of any other language will find this useful. Assignments are really helpful

More technical aspects could have been touched upon. Details on how to implement code on any java platform using inbuilt java libraries and several others.

Not beginner friendly and the course exercises are too repetitive. However, videos are easy to follow if you are proficient in some other language.

There exist some sort of help for solving programming.However, those bad quiz as well as not so comprehensive courses design totally ruin it.

it is so hard for beginners. and some techniques which i can not understand i took long time for that . but presentation were so good

Some files doesn't have the answers to find, so, my questions are wrong even my code runs 100% and no errors (both runtime and logic)

Still I would it can be framed better for students. Some contents are just made to waste time and the content should be improved.

I feel like we're left behind by the teachers of this course. The teaching style does not help in getting the right code to work.
