It's ok as a general view but the explanation is very poor, the content is good but the methodology for teaching could be improved, also for some reason i am unable to join the professional certificate of Generative AI Engineering, it says i already purchase the specialization and i'm still following the courses but what happens when i finish, it doesn't show that i am in that specialization it says i am in AI developer instead.

There were some technical issues with Theia. Why does it still use Python 2.7? It appears incompatible with ibm_watson 6.1. The technical issues meant that it took substantially more time to complete the project.

Its a basic level. You can use existing AI feature as a url and can use it your application. Thats it.

The course was interesting, but the Theia lab they use it full of bugs that you have to work through.

need more practice for programming. Directly assigning project is not appreciable.

The final project API link is outdated and can't be used anymore

Often unclear. Took much longer than expected to

the AI sound makes it harder

Final lab has some issues.

I would have given this course one more star, but the IBM Watson Translator has been deprecated (as of tomorrow, 10 June 2023). The "demonstrate understanding" aim of this course is commendable but it is a clear departure (a wakeup call?) from the earlier "demonstrate memorization" approaches of the earlier coursework. Student be warned: the synopsis does end with "It is intended for you to apply prior Python knowledge." -- you will have to build on 4 different aspects of app dev in order to succeed here.

1. Python Web development using Flask:

2. Watson API implementation: Exchange data using Watson APIs

3. Python Test techniques: Develop functions and application logic and write unit tests

4. Python Packaging: Package the application for distribution with Github. You will demonstrate your foundational Python skills by employing different techniques to develop web applications and AI powered solutions.

My quibble (for other 2 stars) is that this should really have been a 4-week course that could have had two different programming projects and not generated the student angst that shows up so clearly in the comments and moderator responses. For someone who is a more accomplished developer, much of my comments would have been of little concern. To continue to carry forward the majority forward the course could easily have smoothed the learning curve and perhaps made it a little less steep.

The course was pretty short and didn't really live up to the name of AI & Application Development.

The lectures were to the point and worth watching.

I appreciate that the final project didn't hold your hand the whole way like other IBM courses, but it was still too easy, especially considering that the sample screenshots on the submission page showed exactly what code to write.

Unfortunately, the Skills Network Lab theia environment gave me no shortage of headaches, especially because I couldn't get the Docker service running, no matter what commands or permissions I used. The staff on the discussion forums were zero help on this issue, simply copy-pasting a response that completely ignored the problem and focusing on a later task that those of us with the issue hadn't even got to yet.

This is 8th course of IBM Fullstack developer professional certificate package I am finishing. The materials of final project are of so bad quality that I will probably abandon the whole package. Starting from the thing, that you actually cannot do the final project on your PC (despite the statements in the final projct materials). You are forced to do that in cloud console, which doesn't even save your work. Being fullstack dev for many years (just different stack) I can only sympathize people who need to finish the course. The course does not demonstrate modern state of development at all. What it will do is to put people off such a career.

My goal is not to be a coder and the content was a bit overwhelming and directions were assuming that everyone thinks like a coder which we all do not. Lastly, there were many errors with the interactive system; perhaps because it was constantly updating itself therefore the directions didn't quite match up to what I was seeing or there was an error on the part of the developer. I don't know but I won't continue with this module.

Was created assuming the learner has development experience, first week was great however by jumping straight into the project without walking the learner through putting things together is very over welhming. You claimed the assignment was to take 1 hour however it took me over 10 hours to figure out and even then I couldn't figure out the unittesting.

Whenever I try to open the 'Unit testing' and 'packing' videos are the website shows "Sorry we are down for maintenance". I has been ongoing for last one month. I have been encountering a problem while going through my course and 100% completing it . It's really frustrating. please look into this as soon as possible

this course really needs a lot of imporvements ,, it was very very hard to complete this course due to lack of information that wasn't provided through the course and requested tasks were not easy to be finished ... hoping to consider my concerns annd imporve the course materials

This course was bad. The labs did not work. The final project was an absolute mess. Only giving it 2 stars because it forced me to seek resources and help outside of Coursera which is good to learn. Never be afraid to ask for help. But that should not have been the lesson here.
