I am really happy I did this course. The instructor is a really experienced teacher. This course gave a good start for learning the fundamentals and moving onto complex programming languages like C++.

Great course to gain a foundation in C programming! The video lectures, coding examples, and peer reviewing of assignments allows one to learn quick and in real time. Would definitely recommend it.

In general the chosen topics are good and I like the professor. However, the are two big things which I believe need improvement: 1. Videos are often not in order, so you are not sure what is going on. I'm pretty sure that without background in other programming languages I would have been lost 2. I think it's better to sometimes skip more sophisticated discussions and say "don't worry about this now we will discuss this later on". I think for a basics course there were too many discussions of that kind along the way

El curso te da los fundamentos pero no te lleva de la mano. Considero que el profesor omite cosas fundamentales para entender la lógica de programación y el lenguaje en C. Cosas tan simples como printf, scanf creo que no quedan claro para una persona que es su primer acercamiento a la programación.
Si buscas que te enseñen todo y te digan cómo programar, no recomiendo el curso. Sin embargo si te gusta estudiar por tu cuenta y te apasiona, es un buen curso con buenas tareas que te complementarán tu estudio.

The material is good, but the handwriting is very bad. Like reading a doctor's prescription. Some of the exercises were not clear and the question sometimes contain the topic in the next chapter.
Ira needs someone who can help him to improve the quality the way he teaches.
Because of this, I don't finish the specialization with him for C++. I chose https://www.coursera.org/learn/codio-cpp-basics (from Codio) which have a cool app with a nice modern user interface.

I don't think this course is great for beginners, it feels like some of the videos were out of order or were missing, and the assignment instructions were often unclear. Not a huge problem, especially if you have some experience with other programming languages, but I wouldn't recommend this course to a complete beginner. If you have some experience, want to learn C, and don't mind looking through other ressources to fill the gaps then you should give this a go.

Having done some python before but no background in c, I found this course a helpful introduction to c programming. The programming problems are really helpful, however there are times when functions required to complete these problems isn't explained well in the lecture videos. This course could be massively improved by having some sort of lecture notes to look at alongside the videos.

ahh.. I'm not fully satisfied with the course. I recommend to go and watch some slides before enrolling. The slides are very messy. The professor speaks very slow so I had to double the speed of steaming. In spite of having some previous knowledge about C, I had to face difficulties in completing the course because of the messy slides . But course outline is ok. Thanks.

The course is great. However, although the title of the course is "C for everyone" and fundamentals, the instructor assumes that everyone has a strong programming foundation and jumps from initially understandable material to very advanced functions without proper explanations. I found it difficult to follow sometimes, although I had some programming experience.

This course is OK if you already have good fundamentals in programming. Otherwise you may struggle with it. The merge sort module in Week 5 can be made much better. The code for merge sort is quite cryptic to follow and seems to give strange results when you use it for small sized arrays, say size = 5 or for odd number sizes like 9.

It is better for those who are looking for revising their C language. It will be pretty much difficult to understand if one is a beginner in languages. This course gives you a short note on what different keywords and loop means, basic outline of information about the c language. It was a good revision for me.

The professor seems very knowledgeable, but reading handwritten notes instead of a powerpoint is very outdated and subpar. I would also suggest showing examples in VS Code rather than just in VI, most new students would follow that more easily than VI, where they probably don't know the commands to.

Try to correct mistakes in the final quiz and try to make the assignment questions better written. They sometimes don't clearly state how to do something, which may lead to someone finding and copying the answers from some source online. Which would make the whole point of the course redundtant.

Info was good but when it came to either writing code or a test seems like it could use a little more explanation on what is expected to be done. Online prerecorded classes can be difficult as there is no way to ask a question or get clarity to what is being taught if you don't understand.

It was okay. The syllabus was limited and the instructors methods of teaching made it a little boring for me. I felt a lack of practice questions. and he rushed through the last week with just one assignment which I think was not enough to grasp the whole topic.

This course provides a good introduction to programming in C and introduces fundamental practices for understanding and developing code. However, due to the poor organization of content, and in some cases missing videos, I cannot give this course full stars.

Corso ben specifico e pulito, ma chi entra da un mondo apparte e ne capisce poco di informatica questo corso diventa troppo complesso, sto cercando di imparare ma ogni lezione diventa sempre più complicata per me che vengo da un mondo totalmente diverso

It feels like the course rushes over concepts and expects students to already have the book written by the professor to refer back to, which isn't very friendly to people new to programming and those taking the course without the book.

In a lot of cases, the presentation was awkward (too verbose, didn't drill down effectively into the key points).
In a fair number of cases, the quiz and exam questions didn't closely resemble the material presented in the lectures.

i really dont recommend to take this course specially to those who do not know any thing about c programming.
the content is very good but there are lots of videos and a few quizes and assignments, these made the course very boring.

Could have been more better, peer graded assignments do not work so well, they just grade it for sake. The instructor shows notes that are just scribbled on a paper and please upgrade to the latest version.
Thank you!

Great lecture and information. I did find the hand written parts to be difficult to read thus making it harder to follow. Also HW 5 should have a bit better instruction on how to route the file for the code to run.

The videos need "producing" to a better quality, and a significant number of the questions dont help assess the learners knowledge of "coding". However this does seem to be a reasonable overview of the basics of C.

More reading material can be included in the course itself rather than referring to the book. Quiz is very simple. Kindly include harder questions and increase the quantity of the question of writing codes.

The course content is pretty solid, but the instructions for the programming assignnments lacked crucial detail(s), meaning that the learner was forced to proceed with a significant amount of ambiguity).

some of things were not taught properly or even taught in class but came for assignments and quiz
it was not good enough for beginners
The sir is well experienced and is only good for advanced students

The course is good. A lot of basics are skipped,so its not quite thorough.Some assignments require skills that arent even taught in the course.And a lot of logic and operator definitions are skipped.
