Well explained, course made in a form of entertainment, liked that there were tasks to do the practical work- to program different games. There were theory tests as well! Very good for beginners!

Fantastic course!!! A few technical glitches and it could use an update to the new software, but overall I really enjoyed learning everything in this course.

Good intro to programming! Great explanation in a visual interface (scratch) that can later be applied to other programming languages. Good foundation course.

O curso é muito bom e passa uma ideia muito boa sobre a lógica da programação. Poderia ter mais opções de programas e não tantos jogos.

The course itself was very great, well presented and easy to get to grips with. However, I feel the peer review system is a bit flawed.

It's a good way to start in code. But it's just for a program; well still being a good course, funny and you can learn a lot :) thanks

Good introductory level. Some lessons can feel a tad pointless though and it never gets truly hard. A good foundation though.
