I am really happy I did this course. The instructor is a really experienced teacher. This course gave a good start for learning the fundamentals and moving onto complex programming languages like C++.

Great course to gain a foundation in C programming! The video lectures, coding examples, and peer reviewing of assignments allows one to learn quick and in real time. Would definitely recommend it.

Content is good. The audio is bad, the speaker is a lip smacker which is extremely distracting and annoying. "Well, {{smack}} our next topic is... {{smack}}". Filter that out and be aware of that with new courses. At least one in four people are bothered by this sort of thing (misophonia - look it up). It made it hard to listen.

I already had a grip on the language and took up this course to get a revision on the language but ended up learning quite a few things I had missed previously. The course is well made and the graded exams were very effective. If you have no prior knowledge about coding i suggest you to take this course. It'll be fruitful for you.

The course is well organized and easy to understand. I like the part when in the end of the video one question was pop up and you have to answer it. the assignment were so good, sometime we have to find out the mistakes and sometime we have to write the whole code. If you are beginner then you would go with this course.
THANKYOU

It is an excellent course for beginners. Easy quiz and exercises. However, the at the start of the course I wish instructor had given more information on how to set up your C program on your computer. Overall, the explanation given in lectures are very good and make one understand different concepts of programming.

The material is a bit dry but the content is decent. My only gripe is the fact that the assignments are peer graded instead of through an auto grader, which has its upsides and downsides. The main downside is that the course takes longer to complete because there are no assignments for you to review sometimes.

It;s helpful, but I would want it to be mostly complete. In the way that there are some topics that wasn't talked about but were mentioned on the title videos like why is it important to avoid goto statements, also some data structures. In my personal opinion I loved it and learned too much.

Some topics on tests are not extensively covered by the weekly assignments and videos, but otherwise this course gave me a good first step into learning to code. I am confident this has given me the skills to begin making my way into the tech sector, and am excited to continue my education.

The course itself is useful, however sometimes the questions in test or assignments are not clear and there can be more than 1 correct answer/approach and it is not recognized as correct (simply if you answer anything else than defined.. ).. anyway I would still recommend it to others..

Mr. Pohl is a great teacher. the I have learnt from basics to advance from this course this made me confident in the field of coding. I had so much practice from challenging assignments and quizzes. i recommend this course for beginners who are new to coding. great experience.

This course was great. Highly recommend for beginners and people wanting to learn the C language. Videos and assignments were a great way to learn. Some questions on the quizzes were not very clear, so it would be nice if those were rephrased. Overall great course!

This was a great course to do. I just have one recommendation that please don't let our answer be checked by other student as I got 5 marks for an assignment that I completed correctly (I just followed what you taught.).
Thank you for such a great course.

Very good introduction to C programming, despite some slight error in the course materials. In the final quiz, there a re a couple of things that I tried to actually write and compile and that give a result different from the one flagged as correct.

Some topics in homework are not covered in the classes and then we have to review some other's people homework when we don't know if we are doing it right. How do we know what's the right way to do it? if we don't understand it completely?

Mr. Pohl is a great lecturer and it was a pleasure to listen him explaining the material.
However, some assignments and quizes contain either poor/wrong explanation of what you need to do in those tasks.
Anyway, a great course. Let's go on!

Very Solid introduction, has very small mistakes that should be looked at to improve the experience, there should also be a little more instruction for the final assignment as it had a difficulty spike compared to the other assignments

Great intro to C, but instructor leaves a lot out and thus a lot of the assignments require a ton of outside research. More little assignments demonstrating each concept would go a long way in making this course that much better.

Really a good course for basic C, def not for beginners though. Went very fast over fundamental concepts. Coming from another language will be a piece of cake! Well taught and I will be taking the second course he offers in C.

It was a bit easy. One who has previous coding knowledge, it is easier for them to understand. But if you have no idea at all.. Then it will be a bit difficult to understand you might need extra digging to clear your concepts.

Although I think the teachers are amazing, when they show you screenshots of Scratch and how-to tutorials, the picture quality is too blurry to see the screen clearly. I had to drop out because I wasn't able to follow along

Great and simple to understand and follow, Dr. Pohl does a great job at explaining. Some of the things needed to complete the assignments were left out, but that's nothing a simple google search can't solve. Overall Good.

Excellent course to review/learn basics of C. There were a couple issues with unclear questions in the exam and, sadly, as always with Coursera courses, forums filled with requests to have assignments peer reviewed.

This course is really good for earning basics of C programming langauge as it was my 1st C course but I learnt a lot through this course and the instructor is also good at teaching and using all practical concepts.

Some section of the course begins where the instructor assumes that you know the topic already. At some lectures the instructor claims to have discussed the topic but there is no such lecture where it was taught.

The content of hte course is very good. The most important programming topics for C are very well explained. The presentation could be improved. In general I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn C.
