Great course, give you a big picture. But where is course 2?

It was amazing and great...Learn something completely new.

Good class, good knowledge gained, great instructor

This course is a must for every ES engineer.

that is a great course

good

Good and easy contant and well explain

But i become so disappointed with the assessment it's so hard and not match the content

I agree it's about the learning contant but it's not easy like it

There weren't many examples to understand the assessment and do it easily

I made many Searches on Google to understand and to be able to do the assessment

I suggest and hope that you prepare some new videos to practice more and to be able to solve my assessment problems

I learned a lot! I think the assignments need to be explained in a better way, sometimes they get really confusing and the instructions are not in order sometimes. As college student still, it gets pretty confusing on the assignments, I was lucky to enroll in the course with 3 other peers and we helped each other when we got stuck. Besides this, I did learned many things.

The course material is good, the videos are clear and the assignments really complete the learning. However, as a embedded systems introductory course I would expect more hands-on activities, flashing microcontrollers and debugging the code in the target would be the bare minimum to cover on this phase.

The course is good and well structured, but do not expect any support from the instructor or moderators during the course. There is no way for you to review a decision during peer reviews. I had to upload the same submissions again due to incompetent peers marking my answers as wrong.

An interesting course but the assignment goals aren't always the clearest. While i understand the importance of code reviews, I don't believe that they are the best way to grade assignments due to the varying skill levels of persons taking the course.

This Course is not at all for beginners! if you want to take up this course you must have basic prior knowledge of MPMC and C programming. And it is best course if you are Intermediate.

The content is well crafted, there are some rough issues around the homework and the support in the forums is null.

The topic is good but lack of maintenance in these days. Also, no access to the downloadable slides.

It's a good basic Intro but does not go into details as I would expect.

doesnt explain everything

Good

While this course has some very good information, the way it's presented is really poor.

After the information tsunami of every video, at the end of each week there is an assignment which does a bad job of bridging the gap between what was taught and how it should be applied. It feels vague, and I spent hours merely deciphering the requirements of the project. The last assignment was a huge letdown - almost no 'true' embedded programming at all, simply pointer tricks, fumbling with makefiles, gcc flags, and print statements. It was a repackaging of all the other assignments into one ambiguous conglomerate.

Listening to the lectures and reading the material is not enough to get more than 20-40% of the max score in some of the tests. The reviewers can give lower scores even if the assignment has been done correctly, just because why not, Coursera couldn't care less. References/paths are often out-of-date. Neither the Android app, nor the web interface displays the correct answers.

too much into software , very few practical embedded system knowledge

All are basics only. . . and its not a hands on training

VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS .

The lecture videos are pretty decent, but the quizes, tests, and assignments are brutal with confusing instructions, little to no examples or relevant resources for help. The entire course is littered with typos, spelling errors, etc. that need to be reviewed. The Final Assignment did not provide a solution to refer to after submitting it. I know I didn't do it correctly, but somehow I passed that last assignment and the entire course. This course is such a joke. I can see now why employers don't take Coursera certificates seriously. Seems like a money grab without any effort to actually help the students learn the material effectively. Such a waste of my time and money. Lost faith in Coursera and am now exploring alternative options like Udemy, which seem to be higher quality for cheaper.

This course is not an introduction to embedded systems software and development environments. This course does not teach you anything about programming embedded systems or embedded system development environments. It is barely a review of computer architecture and some very basic C programming concepts. The 2 programming assignments are for C on a full desktop/laptop computer and do not relate to embedded C programming. The course even has you download and setup a virtual Linux environment to complete the programming assignments when none of that will be used in embedded development. They recommend getting the TI MSP432 Launchpad dev board but is never used in this course and not in the follow on course.

The course material is shoddy, the assignments ambiguous and some of the provided test code in the final assignment contain errors. 4 days after reporting the errors/asking for clarification (nothing in the assignment said to expect or fix errors) I had not received any response from the instructor or a moderator.

My employer paid for a plus subscription for several work related classes, I took this as a curiosity since it was effectively 'free to me' having completed the planned courses. Had I paid for it out of my own pocket I'd be asking for a refund as the class seems to have been dumped on Coursera and then abandoned.
