I am a data scientist from a physical/mathematical background and learned a ton on new computer science skills. Never used java before and learned it during the course, definitely doable with programming experience from other languages.

Production-wise, it's one of the best MOOCs I've taken. Education-wise, it's great for any aspiring software engineer, as it covers design, programming, best practices, and important software development principles and patterns.

Course covers object oriented software development design as well from fundamentals to abstract concepts. I recommend this course for all interested level-up their software design skill towards being software architect.

I really liked this course. It was my first contact with UML, and the course gives you some really good assignments on it. You also get intuition on what steps to follow when dealing with clients in software projects.

Useful knowledge and practice for both experimented developers and starting ones too. The course helps you to build reference for when you need to come back and apply these concepts in your real life job as a dev.

An outstanding course, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about object oriented programming. Thanks to my professor MR: Kenny Wong and MRS: Sam Jeffrey for helping me learn in a curriculum that is so flexible.

Some topic of this course should elaborate more with more example such as state diagram, activity diagram.

The project seems relatively easy. I suggest to make it a little bit harder with some complex scenarios.

A great course by University of Alberta and thanks to Coursera for making this course available to larger audience, this course increases your understanding of object-oriented concepts with depth and clarity.

what a wonderful course, I really appreciate all instructors' effort as I really become a good designer for my software program, and I suggest anyone intend to join this field of study to take this course <3

Good course, loads of content and subject matter. Unfortunately you must know JAVA pretty well (basic understanding is a false perception) or you will not have a great experience in the hands-on exercises.

This course is brilliant! Through this course, I gradually lay solid foundation in Object-Oriented Design, as well as improve my programming skills. I'd like to recommend it to my peers!

Wonderful course. I have learned the concept of OOP and design process in this course. I recommend this course to students or professional who need some basic theory for their work.

This course is a labour of love, immensely helpful material and excellent delivery. I wish I had discover this course 5 years earlier. It is a must for everyone working in IT.

Took this course to fill in knowledge gaps, was not disappointed. I would say this course may be most valuable for developers in their first 3-6 months in the industry.

This course is incredible because you can learn object-oriented design and they teach you in a simple way so that you can understand with clear and objective examples.

I learnt OOD concepts like never before and feel empowered to work on software in a more effective way than before.

Thank you, Coursera and University of Alberta! :)

This course is perfect. All materials were prepared well. I practiced a lot with designing UML for different situations as well as making my own code according to UML

course introduce prefect content for beignner with good tasks that give you feedback about your progress

at last thanks for all who helped me to finish this course

El curso, me oriento significativamente en la mejora de mi diseño de aplicativos

poniendo en practica sus lineamientos para poder tener un mejor producto.

Gracias

A lot of effort went in to creating this course. It was awesome to participate in and was also fairly challenging. Thank you to the creators! Really great work.

This course is very useful for me to improve towards programming language and UML intraction diagrams, the professor who taught this course is very intractive

What I've learned from this course, I can say that will be very important to my life, because in some modules I saw somethings that I don't saw in the college.

this is a very nice course, i like the way it was presented could have a little more documentarion to read but was really good i like it a lot, learned a lot

The content was really updated, although in Java, but still it actually had good projects and assignments, besides just from the recorded videos. Awesome!

Using Java and UML to start of with Design is a nice concept even though not heard in many Interviews but this course forms the foundations for Developers
