This Course was incredible. It was informative as well as very easy to handle. Complete details were provided at each level so that the students don't feel any sort of difficulty while learning.

This course surprised me in its applicability to software development. It is a great first course in establishing a foundation of programming before actually doing any programming itself.

Overall it was okay, but...

There were a few pieces of information that were factually incorrect in bizarre ways, like the claim that JavaScript is case-insensitive, or that interpreted languages are only for small scripted tasks and not for building applications. Did they copy that out of a textbook from 1995?

Many of the quiz and test questions were fixated on the exact wording of arbitrary sentences in the course material rather than on the concepts and facts. One of those exact-wording questions even got the exact wording wrong.

This course did not make me want to continue with the rest of the program it's a part of.

Negatives: - This course is not fully compatible with the Edge's "Read aloud" option due to a few error messages & bugs. - Quizes don't show correct answers. - Some of the modules had spelling errors. - The videos don't have the Full Screen toggle option. - Learning how to code in 11 computer languages is unnecessary & needs to be removed or changed. - Lab software has a bunch of bugs and needs to be fixed. Positives: The course has a lot of valuable information to learn. The videos were informative without being lengthy. The quiz questions covered the course content.
