The instruction provided in this course are very clear and anyone who can learn coding by this course. But the course has more readable content for you to take notes and reading it may take more time.

I had no background in programming before attending this course and I had my own doubts on learning a new language online. But trust me, this course is very well-built and it was a cake walk for me.

The overall course content is great, but the only major issue is that most of the concepts are done through reading material not the video lectures.

good and clear explanation but the video explanation must be more though the reading explanation is good Also video clarification must be clear.

In the first week of writing an algorithm, it would be better if we are asked to write an algorithm in the tests rather than answers using them.

Module 1 is tricky and contains hard exercises. As a beginner, I found these exercises hard. make it easy and reshuffle it with other modules.

Final submission should include writing a code. This code should be tested/reviewed, even if only checking if it gives the correct results.

The videos are good and detailed but a little lacking in examples and the quiz - assignment lack different types of question and situation.

Programming Fundamentals introduces one to the key steps require for success in programming. I believe you will also find it interesting.

just some instruction and very basic understanding of language C, if you want to learn more, need choose other modules after this course.

More videos and less text would have been better. Otherwise it is an amazing and challenging course which builds problem solving skills.

Great intro to how computers work. Sometimes i felt the reading material is too tedious and lengthy. Can be made more efficient.

Its more about reading rather than learning from the videos itself. Looking forward to next course where we will write code.

Si bien las bases son importante y este curso se toma el trabajo de entregarlas, si se siente un poco pesado tanta teoría.

The content of the first part is very inductive and good for the novices, However, the reading material is way too much.
