The course itself is great, but just too many peers review assignments.

Auto grader is too sensitive to small changes in the correct output

Great introduction to computational thinking and coding.

The auto-grade assignment in Week 4 should be improved.

very good!!!!!! I learned a lot from this course...

Very good for good learners and beginers

The last assignment had a few bugs

The practice task is not enough.

Very educational. Thank you

great way to start with

it was interesting

good experience

so good

The knowledge and skills this course covers and presents learners are powerful and very useful, meaningful and valuable, however, understanding and progressing through the course take far longer then it should and the course material is excessively theoretical, abstract and difficult to grasp, in particular for learners whom are beginners in the python language.

Phenomenal and high standard and quality delivery, but the explanations for learners should be deeper, more detailed and greater to the extent that they can easily follow along. Chanllenges are crucial and helpful, but not if they cause students to lose their motivation and hope in the process.

The course should focus more on explaining the principles more clearly and in a beginner friendly manner. Theoty is vital for understanding the concepts from an abstract view, but then it should be illustrated in a easy method how to apply and implement it, otherwise if learners only know the theory, but can't apply it, it has no point in the real-world.

Good course lecturers and solid principles, but i wish they used an easier and more "friendly" approach to explaining the academic material.

Few courses teach computational thinking sub-skills as explicitly as this one does. That's the good part about this course, because any good computer scientist should have an understanding of the cognitive skills involved in doing their work.

Overall, the pace of the course was good, but I felt the assignments were either a little lackluster, or would drop information that you'd need more background knowledge to solve. For example, there were some questions in this course that I would not have been able to do well on, had I not already taken Calculus-2 and some proof-writing in university.

I appreciate that the instructors probably put that material in to expose students to the wonders of discrete mathematics. At the same time, I wonder if it might be too early for that material, and if students will be better served doing some moderately difficult algorithm design instead.

This course was worth taking and I learn a lot. However, it was advertized for users of all levels. The python portion of the course moves at a pace that is extremely difficult to keep up with. I thought that I just wasn't getting the material but after using a python book recommended by a friend, I realized that this course moves at an extremely fast pace, and it seems that you need some kind of programming background to be able to complete it. I had to use a book, internet searches, and get tutoring in order to do some of the assignments. This course was way more difficult than I expected for an entry-level course.

The first three weeks were very well presented and instructed. It was challenging and interesting for me (I don't have a computer science background). However, the pace and level of difficulty are accelerated in Week 4. You're expected to go from having no Python knowledge to being able to solve multiple-step programming assignments which the videos give a cursory explanation to. The videos would probably be sufficient for someone who already has a strong Python or programming background.

The first 3 weeks of the course are very enlightening for someone new to computer science, but the fourth week of the course suffers from a significant difficulty spike when trying to answer questions involving python programming. Issues include expecting the learner to know concepts not mentioned in videos and a lack of help with python programming questions.

Assignment instructions are so convuluted that they cause more confusion than provide clear or understandable instructions. (must be revised)

+ interesting introduintroduction to Computer thinking

- extremely very low audio videos , some examples are tedious and shoehorned

There are giant leaps in logic for the assignments using python. It was not friendly for someone with no python experience.
