Overall the course was quite interesting!

Very informative & well designed course.

buen curso con los datos necesarios.

know more how to design and use UML

nice to listen this type of course

A bit long to get peer-reviews.

Perfect way to start about OOD.

Really good course about OOD.

Very good content, and the assignments are useful for reinforcing what you've learned (kind of). The two things that would make this course excellent would be:

1) Explanations along with the answers you get after turning in an assignment. Currently all you get is a picture, basically, and nothing in the way of explaining the "why". E.g., why is the relationship between object X and object Y composition and not aggregation? What are you supposed to look for in the code to make that judgement?

2) Better moderation of the forums. All the forums are littered with "review my assignment" posts. No discussion, no questions, no answers. It's useless and could be such a great resource.

This edition of the course started well with Weeks 1 and 2 being very relevant and of high-quality. Things start sliding in Week 3 with a lecture on Model Checking which I still have to figure out of what use it can be for anyone. Week 4 skids and runs off the highway by being completely off-topic by having students complete a Capstone Assignment which is all about Android Application Development (which is NOT one of the course objectives) and very little about UML and Java. But, a re-work is not unrecoverable and would not require major re-work of the material already developed, IMHO.

The course moves at quite a pace, but there are a lot of exercises to do to reinforce things. This does make it something of a marathon of assignments and reviews of others assignments.

My biggest criticism is the use of a fairly complicated (and a bit flaky in my experience) Android phone simulator in which to write code and run the software. I took me a while to set up and understand, and I found myself uninstalling and reinstalling this to keep it working. This felt like an unnecessary overhead for just learning object orient design.

Unfortunately the lectures feel like you are being "read to". There aren't any notes on the screen and the presenter reads a script. There is a lot of fluff in the lectures and the intro music is too long. I find myself spacing out a lot during them. It feels like there is about 30% content only in the video.

The assignments are good. I learned from them. The only thing is that there are not enough UML examples in the lectures. The lectures could be less reading to us, more showing example UML. That would be helpful for learning.
