It was an amazing course! Lots of interesting content. The content is also explained really well, i found it really easy to understand. The assessments are a little challenging, but reasonably sized.

It has help evaluate what I put into decision in any applicable context. Since I've noted what decision I make and how outcome can be made to vary when I consider all components in a isolated manner.

It is clear that a lot of effort has gone into developing this MOOC, with engaging content and splendid delivery by Prof. Devlin throughout. This is commendable, especially considering the course is traditionally meant for a conventional classroom and a lot of peer interaction, which is hard to simulate in a MOOC.
The Rubric was a little hard to wrap your head around, and often I found my views clashing with that of the instructor (I'm sure he's right, but as a student it's not always easy to see where he's coming from. For example, if you've been lenient in your moderation and given a middling score to a proof, but he's gone on to trash the same proof)
Having said that, it was a delight to learn with the Professor, who emphasizes first principles, assumes nothing, and teaches you to do the same.

The general approach is welcoming even to non-mathematicians or beginner students of mathematics. But I find the progression is too step starting with Module 6.
On the other hand, Mr Devlin cracked open the doors to so many different concepts within mathematics and beyond that I will have plenty of subjects to work on over the coming months and years.
"Incidentally", I think the course really carries out what it puts forth: introducing people to think like mathematicians. I now understand what studying mathematics really means.
Thank you Keith for all these insights.

This is a great course. There are various topics presented clearly and with instructive examples. I suggest the following improvements. First, provide solutions to at least the odd numbered assigned problems. In this vein, make the assigned problems visible. I had to buy the book to see them. Second, I felt the subjects at the end, particularly sequences and real analysis, were dropped like a bomb in front of me. I couldn't absorb this material before the final problem set.
