Wow, I would've never thought that I could finish it, but I did, yay! The assignments are challenging but totally worth it. I think I lost some hairs in the process :)

Excellent course, I really enjoyed it! With not a lot of practical experience with FP (yet) it was a bit of challenge at times. But the forum and support was helpful.

My goal taking the course was to get acquainted with Scala 3. The course is good in covering most of the new features but I feel this is not a beginers course. Some of the assignments are quite challenging which may discourage people from completing the course.
The lectures are generally short and, in my opinion, could spend additional time with examples that are worked out during the lecture to solidify the student's understanding the material which might be more helpful to tackle the assignments.
The discussion forums generally prove to be quite helpful, thanks to the staff and other learners.
Thanks Coursera for putting together this course, I look forward to additional Scala 3 classes.

For me the assignments projects are ressources of good programming. But to understand the provided source code took me some time and only with the stuff learned in this course it is very hard.
Sometimes it is a bit challenging to fill in the blanks but after some time of thinking how to combine the provided functions it was clear. Often when I got to return the correct type also the tests were correct (follow the types).

Starts pretty easy and ends quite hard. I liked the approach where I had to complete code of example projects but I wish more time were spent on basics.

I would not reccomend that course for beginners. I find this really hard, I had to give u after week 4. And I am not a beginner. Critical moment - when I have discovered, that every test check method I have problem with. I realized, that I will have 100% or 0%, I do not find this fair if I did rest of exercises. I come back to "classic" specialization with Scala2.
