very poor instructor participation

there are threads that are months and years old that have not been attended to by the instructors.

a video in the course used an older version of the language (convert miles to Km) and the download for same android studio was not given. the recent android studio which every student downloads is way different in language and the same syntax used in the video do not work.

after much complains about the android studio and the video disparity. the instructors are still very absent.

Please come to our rescue. the course is really stagnated due to the fact we have android studio different from what was used in the course. this is very unusual compared to other courses taken on coursera.org

You really need prior coding experience to understand the training. I also was very disappointed in the teaching. We have an incredible opportunity to improve education, and I feel that this course is merely an extension of current learning techniques. It was extremely difficult for me to fully participate without paying. I was using this course to make a specific android app to control my wheelchair. I act as an analyst for my programmer husband. So I fully understand code architecture, but absolutely hate coding by hand. This course glossed over coding however it is far more code intensive then I was led to believe.

The course has to be updated. the video instruction in the course was meant for the older versions of Android studio. There is no instructions for using the latest studio which is completely different from the older one. For beginners like me, there should be instruction on at least which software to download. There is a link for which the software could be downloaded but, that link doesn't even exist.

I've tried using the latest version, but everything in the video seems to different when comparing with my software. I've stopped learning from this course just because of my frustration.

The male lecturer keeps sighing during his presentations. It is distracting and discouraging. In particular for his Week 2 course, there were insufficient explanations to help us to understand what the programming keywords mean. This became more frustrating when I typed the exact thing in my Android Studio and my app could not run due to multiple errors. I am unable to tell how to debug the app. I am not sure if this is because either Android Studio or the programming instructions have changed since then. I have not faced such issues with other courses.

Not the best introduction class that I was hoping for. While the structure of course seemed promising, it lacked on providing proper tutorial on how to use the Android studio as well as building an app consists of just following the tutorials in the beginning, which lacks in creativity. i.e. "app-building" tutorials presented here is low-quality which can, and should, be substituted by higher quality YouTube video. Udacity offers more detailed introduction course to android development that is sponsored by Google, which is a better course than this one.

Very bad communication skills of the teachers. Especially one who seems to be doing his job with no enthusiasm at all.

This is already not very engaging when you're starting to learn a new skill, but the worst thing is that it's very poor in explanations throughout the course.

My feeling is that this course was not ready to be released on Coursera, or maybe this is a Beta version? But still...

I was disappointed as Supelec is known to be a prestigious Computer science and Ingeneering French university.

The course is terribly put together and much of the quiz work is based off material not covered in the lectures or reading. Additionally, even if you get a quiz question right, they mark it wrong because the people that put this course together have no idea themselves how to put the class together properly. You really aren't going to find a suitable App Inventor class on Coursera, but there are sites where you will find some fantastic low cost options. I'm working through one right now.

The video and sound qualitty is terrible! and also the programming - it is explained pretty bad. It is so frustrating, when you trying to catch what the guy is doing when he's writing the code. For example he marked part of the code, then pressed some button on the keyboard, but didn't said which button was it... oh my god, so frustrating!!!!!

I started another course on udacity.com and it looks so much better, totaly can recommend that! it's called Android Basics.

The course content is quite outdated. The course does not explain how to properly zip the folder containing the android project nor how to import properly so that other peers can view properly. Week 2 was completely not explained well. We just had to copy the code directly. The building block layout is no longer a viable building block because the XML cannot be written in that way.

1 . There are pronunciation problems , i am not able to understand what the instructors were telling me

2 . The pace is very fast - basics were not cleared to us properly

3 . Peer graded assignments were a nightmare , did not get graded properly and not on proper time

4 . They taught us very basic things but in the quizzes they ask us more complicated questions than we can answer.

i was very excited at the beginning of the course

but when i figure out that i must paid for unlock some important lecture

i really felt disappointed i thought i should only paid if i want to took the Certificate

i had been wasted some time at this course

now i have to search for another course but complete one this time.

I found this course to be extremely confusing for a beginner in the field. There was no guidance, and peer help was confusing.

I am disappointed and suggest that if you enroll that you have a good working knowledge of basic java and android programming before attempting this course because you will be on your own.

This course is outdated and none of the features are available in the newer version of Android studio. Either update the Course or please remove this course. And also there is a lot of difficulty in understanding the English accent of these people.

The free version of the course is far more restricted than other courses I've taken, the content wasn't brilliant, and it wasn't really more advanced than other tutorials with far better presenters which can be found online for free

The how was teaching has a terrible voice I suggest not to go through this course and waste your time.

You will not be able to understand what the male teacher has terrible voice sorry but that's my review and feedback.

Out of date with no instructor support. Discussion forums are all posts asking for peer graders. Did not learn anything. Much better learning resources for android development provided for free by Google codelabs.

I will give up. The projects are based on a very old version of Android Studio (1.5), so many functions are no more available in the new version (4.1.1). I spent a lot of time to work on the compatibility....

I had a lot of errors - the submission of thoughts and first quiz did not work on my computer so after trying in both firefox and chrome I am giving up. Will try different course. The lessons were decent.

The course is very old and there are quite changes in android studio's newest version and the one being used in the course. Also, the style of teaching of the professor didn't suited me atleast.

It's an old course with the old android studio. I'm here trying to figure out how to use android studio lastest version. I wish they would have updated it. What a waste of time this class.

Far too little advice on how to do what they have been discussed in the course.Videos should be updated, the programs shown in them are old versions, and the instructions no longer work.

Very difficult to understand the accent of the instructors and the course does not teach the basics of android programming and directly uses techniques not known to the student

The quiz is very bad. first they say its correct than its incorrect the next time . so what to do? inspite of giving correct answers its showing incorrect . its demotivating .

Can not understand the instructor. The video is not clear . Course needs to be updated .Can not follow along and try to understand the instructor.

Poor material, terrible french accent, not a good Android course at all.

I don't raccoment it unless you're a total novice at Android development.
