Decent. Moved kinda slowly, but it's for beginners, so what did I expect? This is a nice progression of classes for someone with no previous programming experience; if you have previous experience, in another language, you may wish to start with an intermediate course.

Good examples -- good basic instruction in videos, but most of the value is in working the exercises which use some fairly interesting real world scenarios. And some of the direction is as vague as specs you might encounter as well.

The idea of using interfaces and abstract classes were not covered sufficiently in my opinion. That said, I was still satisfied with the content being covered. Instructions on some of the exercises could have been better explained

It is a good course, but I believe it needs to be updated and that some quiz need reviewing. Sometimes it's really hard to understand what an exercise is asking you to do and there isn't much support.

I could not get the Answers to the practice quiz of week 3

as my first line differed from the question first line.

the first two words were correct but the rest differed. MarkovWordOne.java

A very challenging course with a lot of assignments, great professors and discussion forum. But I feel like the instructors could have given the instructions more clearly on the assignment

The Course is Good. But Week 3 is so hard to understand and the assignments are frustrating and it took long time to complete. Week 3 must be made easier......

I would like to get more help with the markov and wordgrams excercises, they are very complicate and you are not given the necessary time to explain them

i liked everything except some of the quizzes since some questions were unclear or wrong (but still, I was a beta tester, so all great) - thank you!

In week 3, the Markov theorem should be explained more clearly. It was not clear enough to understand by only listening to the explanation.

This was really a tough course. It made me to learn clean coding by implementing blocks of codes in an organized way without redundancy.

The third week was a great challenge and, while frustrating at times, gave me more to think about as I'm developing as a programmer.

The assignments get really cluttered sometimes and week 4's final quiz can certainly improve. Other than that, awesome course! :D

A great, challenging course for a beginner. I graded 4 stars as there are no programming exercises in the last week.

Good class and good education. My only objection is that some of the practice tests seemed unusually difficult.

not suitable for new beginners without any programming basis; teaching is good though.

Some of instructions are incmplete or unclear otherwise very good course for starting

the course material is really interesting , but it seems to be a little bit hard .

Nice job in getting complicated things simple ! Congrats to the Duke's team.

Very good course .. important for any wanna be programmer or beginner

Very helpful course that can be add more value in my career.

You need to explain Exceptions and interfaces more deeply

The homework is too time consuming.

week 3 may need more explanation

very good course learn a lot .
