Instructors and the instructors who moderate the forums are great. It is a bit different way to look at programming but it makes sense and I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn C

It is actually a hard course i guess you need to have at least the basics as some of the assignments were really hard take me a lot of time to do them. especially the poker assignment

the PPE is really annoying -- times out arbitrarily, does weird things if you type more characters than the line allows.

This course looks boring at first sight but when you try to complete the course's assignment it is very challenging

No enough help for the test case evaluation exercises and some other exercises. Aside, every thing else is perfect

Good course, but if you're stuck on a particular coding problem it might take some time to fix it.

Some of the assignments(testing) may cause too much frustration for new programmers

The Readings sections in the course need a major revision. I had to spent hours trying to understand what was being conveyed. Also the README files of the assignment tasks. The language used was confusing and many times the instructions were not clear. I would suggest a revision of all the problem statements and readings.

Alright course so far. However, to me, the README seem cryptic at times. There are times when I was saying, "WTF are they trying to say." Not a fan of VIM/EMACS, too. There were instances when redirecting stdout did nothing--had to copy the contents, rm the file, and make it again. Why? Problem on my end?

Some assignments are not very clear with instructions and even a huge jump between assignments. I can only get help from Forum. Sometimes one problem can stop you for several days until someone answer your question in forum.

The programing environment and grading system is pretty hard to use. I would rather write offline in my VSCode and upload my file for check in Coursera. I believe there is way to do so.

This course is very good (and teaches you how to use different tools like gdb and emacs), but was have some bugs with grading.

This is NOT for beginners, this was too tough. You need to have a basic understanding of c syntax already !
