Its strongest side are the projects, with them you learn how to seriously develop websites. You practice the concepts and techniques a lot. In general the explanations range from good to excellent.

Course was informative. Could have been more complex by adding more dynamic functionalities. In concepts point view I think they covered how and why exactly they were using a functionality.

It has been a very good course. I has required a lot of effort on my part not only to solve the assignments but also to install the necessary software and applications (MySQL, Visual Studio Code, etc). I did not have prior experience with all this set of software.

I have found some dissimilarities between what is mentioned in the videos and the reading assignments. One has to really listen and read both carefully before implementing code. May be some of those videos and readings need to be updated and/or corrected.

At the time of working on the final peer-grade assignment I found some errors and typos in the instructions. I had to correct them on my own, but this has also been part of the learning experience. In addition, the server has run very slowly and in a discontinued way. I had to dedicate quite a bit of time to introduce data and check the results of my code.

It is a great high-level introduction to Django. It doesn't go into much detail about things like the ORM or Class based views, and the assignments are very easy, so you need to challenge yourself outside the course. Overall I enjoyed taking the course and learnt a lot from it in a short time, I would recommend to anyone just starting Django

I did expect this course to have more focus on Class-based views and generic views. Also the course did not cover any authentication like login or signup system

Others where fine

it's a great place to get started. the labs kind of hold your hand through all of it which can be good and bad. I recommend extra practice on top of this course.

Knowledge provided by course is really valuable, but projects and final projects needs to be harder ...

The course has an outstanding video content, but same time a lot of issues with the structure, examples and questionaries. It looks like it's too raw at the moment, like there was a nice video tutorial and it was decided to add texts, labs and quizes made by other participants without good coordination. It needs a thorough structure and quality check. I provided feedback for the issues that found so far, editors could contact me for more details.

There needs to be a bit of an overhaul on this one. There are some very confusing places and also places where instructions are outdated or not even correct.

So tedious. Too many instructors. Overly simple assignments. Excruciating quizzes-- more about rigorously regurgitating the lecture than overall knowledge. Quite a slog. It's the fifth course I've taken and the worst so far.

The topics were fine, the videos were good, but the assignments and reading were absolutely riddled with errors. The discussion forms are clogged with people pleading for workarounds for flat-out misinformation from the staff.

Quite average, the peer grading system is quite terrible and i believe it should be moved. Out of all the back-end meta courses that i've completed so far, this one is by far the worst.

Absolutely terrible. Really poorly communicated ideas that made everything unnecessarily complicated and vague. Quizzes were either uselessly simple, or asked about things that weren't really explained. Lots of errors in the automatic grading of quizzes. There were errors in the lab instructions, and errors in the supplemental code for labs. It really felt like this class was designed by an AI or an English major with no tech experience. I've taken many online classes and this was by far the worst!

The content was not presented in an organized manner, which made it difficult to follow. Many of the lab instructions contained typos or were unclear. I had to consult supplemental information to understand many concepts.
