It was hard to follow and understand; one of the instructors had very strong foreign accent; I also speak English with foreign accent as well despite having lived 2/3 of my life in English speaking country, so I understand and are more tolerant of foreign accents than most other folks, but this course was difficult to follow. The transcript (English) was full of errors too.

this was the worst mooc ive followed so far. The english was really poor and french should have been preferred. Exams were either too easy or too difficult. Little context is given about everything regarding actual applications. Too many things are taught without any context, and I recommend you to have a prior experience with IT before doing the course, otherwise you will get lost.

Pretty introductive,

Not very much interaction or help provided & some links or references are outdated but it's a great place to start your learning path to semantic web.

A comprehensive overview and hands-on practices allowing to apply these skills into practice.

While I enjoyed the course and learned some new things from it, there were several things that stopped me from giving it a higher rating. 1) Several of the quizzes relied on web applications that were broken. They returned server errors whenever I tried to use them. I was able to work around this problem by finding an alternative site with a similar application, or in one case calculating the required query by hand. I did report the issues using the "Report Issue" link on the page, but have seen no response at all. 2) I felt that the depth of exploration of the subjects was very shallow and superficial. Semantic triples are a fascinating topic with a lot of potential, and had hoped to get a little more from the course than I did. 3) There was no real hands on experimentation to speak of. In the other Coursera MOOC I had previously done, each week had a series of assignments we had to write code for and submit both the code and the results for peer grading. I felt this allowed the course materal a much greater chance of sinking in. In this MOOC, the quizzes didn't really allow us to play and experiment to see if we could figure out how to solve problems ourselves. I was particularly keen on learning more about semantic triples as I use them in my day job, but just felt this course could have been a lot more effective in teaching about them.

great learning experience !

the curriculum was covering comprehensive aspects.

the information was precise and well-presented.

the difficulty of the questions was adequate.

compliment to EIT-Digital, just one side-aspect remains open : was it complying to the code of conduct to try the quizzes several times with the given right answers, so-to-call utilize all possibilities of the local machine and the course-given techniques ?

Very interesting and inspiring! I've been programming (web)applications for years now and still I've learned new things about the web and the initial ideas about it from the previous century. Amazing!

This was a good course. The quizzes could be solved based on the material provided. Slides and review code are useful. Thank you

It is informative but It need to updated with new upcoming tools in semantic web or web of data.

It gives a complete overview of the standards and use cases of the web of data.

Yes ,

It's really very useful for me and I learned something from this course.

Really good for understanding basic concepts of semantic web

Excellent primer

Superb

Material is of outmost importance, but some links are not working anymore and you have to find alternative resoruces that works nowadays to complete the task

The course made me understand the working of the web on a deeper level.

The course covers a lot of material in a short span and assumes more knowledge of programming and terminology than I expected so my views reflect my level of expertise coming into the course. They could have offered deeper explanations of the content, especially explaining what each part of the code does. I especially found the quizzes didn't give me enough feedback to help me get to the correct answer. Typically the quizzes suggested that I re-watch a video but the video wasn't related to the question.

A few other reviewers mentioned the difficulty in understanding the instructors as they have French accents. I didn't find that to be too much of a problem but the transcriptions are sometimes off, for example, Turtle (a syntax and important concept) is often transcribed as total.

The course was nice and provided many tools and insights. However, if I was not already a bit familiar with semantics and RFD graphs, I would not have been able to understand many things from this course alone (i.e. without extra Googling on the side). Summing up, the course it's good for a revision and for supplementary knowledge, but not to start learning semantics from scratch.

Side note: Some of the links are outdated, but they are necessary in weekly assignments. I could hack/guess a few things here and there, but it's tricky.

I think it is hard for beginners to be introduced to so many different tools and languages

I finished the course, but I am not excited. I was missing more complex tasks. All examples were simple queries without any connection. Also there is no useful discussions as the forums are structured in weird way and presenters do not react to question.

Hard to understand some of the speakers. Quizzes were poorly constructed.

I wanted to like this course but sadly I didn't enjoy the way it was put together or presented. I found myself looking on Youtube for clearer explanations of the concepts covered which defeated the purpose of doing this course.

The quizzes are confuse
