Too Easy and shallow

Easy to follow.

A lot of the content is outdated and the instructor's Xcode keeps crashing all the time which gets pretty annoying. Some of the questions in the quiz asked things that weren't exactly covered on the course, such as structs. Also, it doesn't make sense that the course is 2 hours per week and then advertise it as a 1 month course when I was able to finish it in 3 days without dedicating a lot of time. I feel like the course did not have enough content to make me feel like I understood all the concepts completely as most of them, as the instructor says in a lot of the videos, only scratched the surface. All in all, the course was a little lackluster content wise and how some videos are out of date.

Some of the content in this course has been obsolete for years. The teachers use outdated versions of Xcode (versions 8 and 9) that work differently than the current version (version 11 at the time I'm writing this), so parts of the final project just can't be done without searching the forums and the web to figure out how to do with the current version what the teachers did in their old Xcode versions. On top of that, the videos don't cover everything you're expected to know on the assessments. You'll be better off taking a different Swift intro course or finding a good Swift book, especially if you're new to programming.

The course lacks quality and is somewhat outdated. It seems unprofessional and sometimes it feels like the teacher doesn't exactly know his stuff - a lot of mistakes, the explanations are somewhat lacking.

The other programming courses I've taken here on Coursera all had peer review, but it is not available here at all.

The course is supposed to be offered by LearnQuest but instead the company "Devslopes" - https://devslopes.com is mentioned all the time in the videos.

And also some of the lectures are not presented by Mike but by other people.

The course needs to be reviewed, fixed, and updated.

The final part of week 4 was frustrating. It must be using an older version of Xcode. The UI of the instructors screen was very different than mine. I think too many assumptions were made about knowing Xcode UI. I also wish the files were assessable before the quizzes, they were pretty pointless to only have access after some quizzes. I also wish there were some practice assignments, and then having the ability to check them with the correct files would have been good, to sort of force you to practice and play around.

Instructors moved really fast and some things feel like they are pulled from paid courses from their website. Sometimes you are learning something and you think you are going to go somewhere with it and then they move on to a completely different subject and you are left wondering why they talked about a particular subject in the first place. Videos are from older version of Xcode and new xCode has changed a lot so a lot of research was needed to find out how to implement what they wanted me to do in the course.

Review questions are extremely light, sometimes the review code excersize has no instructions, but is simply what the instructor wrote in the video. Instructor begins using more complex topics like struct and class without introducing or explaining them. Week 3 exam uses swift attributes like 'guard' that aren't covered in the course material. And week 3 exam gives me an 85% when I got 19/20 1 point questions correct.. Shame on you Coursera

It was a good beginner course but too expensive for the minor detail and lack of education given especially compared to free videos availaible online. Also, the teachers use outdated software. This seems to be an issue for most courses on Coursera, but its very difficult to learn a software when the software the instructor uses is a few years older and completely different than current gen.

Not for someone who is new to programming, just a quick go through of basic programming syntax in swift. being a professional in other programming languages I was here merely to get an introduction to Swift syntax and quickly completed the course in few hours. but if you are completely new I recommend go for some other course

The course doesn't focus on the basics of Swift 5. It should be made at an intermediate level with people who have some experience with the code. Moreover the Week 4 is out of Blue coding which is really confusing and causes an issue with the conscience.

Out of date course: Using old version of XCode. No support given to forums, especially in light of the above. First 3 weeks of the course progress at an even pace, and then week 4 has so much crammed into it that it is barely understandable..

This course covers only some of the basics topics. I am expecting more topics in future. Also some more coding challenges or may be some app creation task from scratch, after the submission certificate will be unlock.

While weeks 1 to 3 had some utility, beyond that this course is out-of-date. You'll find yourself unable to complete tasks without doing outside research to know how this now works in Xcode 13.

The content about the Polymorphism, class, struct, super/child inheritance are not clear/good to understand.

Hope more details/samples about these.

The Xcode interface has changed dramatically from the videos here. I was struggling to work through the exercises. Please update the course

Course videos and content is over 3 years old. Please consider updating the insctructor content/video especially the last ones.

There are so many holes in this course. It leaves out key elements, as it progresses. I'm canceling my course.

Outdated Material. Figuring out how the examples work in Xcode 14 was hindering the laerning effort much.

it lacks so much content, the tests include some things that aren't even in the videos/course

After choosing right answer in quiz it still show me 0% in grade.

Terrible. The first two weeks are so remedial it is painful. Week 3 is way too advanced for anyone who would find value in weeks 1 and 2. Week 4, the first week with anything useful towards developing an actual app is from 2017, and taught on an OUTDATED version of Xcode... making it useless as well. This course should be taken off Coursera and offered on DailyMotion where the appropriate number of people will waste their time with it

If you never write a line of code, this course will not help. If explains only simple statements. If you know a programming language, it is quite too simple. The explanation has errors in terms of computer science. (Machine epsilon, arrays called sorted list, functions mixed up with functional programming)

After having done three and a half weeks of the first course, I realized that the course presents Swift 2 that has been updated to 3 for a long time ago but the course has not. Impossible to work further I just left the course. A waste of hope, time, and money!!!

The content in week 4 was incredibly out of date. I had to go digging for several hours on other websites just to find solutions to issues this presented. Up to week 4 everything was great, but if I was doing QA on this, this would be a product breaking example.
