I could give this course more stars, maybe easily four, but I wasn't happy with the lack of forums or any other means of communicating with the instructor and/or mentors. This made me waste valuable time. Some of the course material and instructions are not up to date, especially for Raspberry Pi 3.

While it is a good class, I have a message that one of my assignments is passed by not verified. I have no instructions on how to "verify" it. I'm disappointed something that should be simple is such a roadblock.

The course and the specialization are great for complete beginers, but WAY TOO BASIC for engineers or students who has at least finished 3 semesters at any western uni.

Some content (like reading and sending tweets) were irrelevant to the scope of this course. Measures are to be taken to make assignments copy proof!

most of the contents can be found on the website of raspberry, a quick start for those interested~

Is very basic and don't send assignments becose I don't pay the course.

Expected more based on the arduino course. Very lite on material

To beginner. Looking for something intermediate to advanced.

learned lot of things

If you are familiar with network programming in Python, there is almost nothing new to learn from this course. I cannot start the next course unless you complete this one, but there was someone in the peer reviews who ignored all the review criteria and gave zero points for everything, which made the completion process take an excessive amount of time. I believe the peer review system in this specialized course has only drawbacks.

There is a large difference between the skills acquired in the video's and the skills needed to fulfill the assignments. There are errors in the video's and without the help of the UCI help forum it is hard to get the assignments right. You can acquire a broad set of skills interfacing with the Raspberry PI but Google is your best friend.

One of the worst courses I have taken on Coursera. I have been in IT for 20 years and expected a lot more in this course. There were a couple times that the instructor was inaccurate about a some of the concepts he was teaching.

its more a linux introducction, not the expected from the title. the content is good but no what was expeceted, as it said interfacing I thought it was more about sensors and gpio programming

Very basic course could have been better. More information would have been added but in a nutshell its a very basic course.

Much of the code is outdated (I'm using python 3.5). Fix this and you'll have 4 or 5 stars easy.

The course is so simple and just has only a few interesting points.

I expect the projects and Peer Graded to be a litle difficult.

this course just for a newbie

Coursera changed the rules on access to graded quizzes in the middle of this specialization. The last course in the specialization allowed free access to graded quizzes and homework.

During this course, the "free access" to quizzes and assignments is no longer an option.

Even more annoying is the fact that I also receive email reminding me to "complete the quiz", which would require me to upgrade to a paid enrollment to allow me to submit assignments to grading.

Thanks for nothing, Coursera!

No me permite hacer los examenes si no pago por ellos previamente.
