Great course overall. It focuses on functional programming concepts like immutability, locally-defined functions, pattern-matching and forces the user to use recursion, taking you out of your for-loop comfort zone. In my humble opinion, maybe the time spent in learning the SML language, which is not the main goal of the course, takes a bit too long, but on the other hand I guess that can't really be helped. Videos are grate and grading procedures are pretty fair. Mind you, the course is fairly time-consuming.

Four stars because for me at least one of the most interesting parts about the course it the comparisons that happen LATER in part B and C, between oop/fp and especially static/dynamic typing; that is, I treat this course as a test to see if you're interested in the whole thing (I am). Otherwise a solid 5/5. Also I personally found that polyml often gives clearer diagnostics than sml/nj, but your mileage may vary here. AND it's my first course here :=)

The constructs of learning functional programming are very useful and well explained. This course is about theory with practice problems which are somewhat challenging using SML as the programming language. The only downside of the course is the use of SML, which is fine for educational purposes, but lacks any real development / debugging frameworks and has no commercial usability beyond learning the concepts in the course.

The content of this course is very good and easy to follow. It's not a very difficult course. All homeworks can easily be completed by watching the video content. The video presentations do have some sound issues that may make them annoying to watch. The sound issues are present in all videos and take this course in my opinion from a perfect score to a 4/5.

Fun course at times and overall very intense. Some of the homework questions later in the course were extremely difficult and required a lot more time than designated (and a lot more time than I would prefer to give).

I wasn't comfortable the whole course I honestly did not have a clue what to look for I guess I'll screwed this one up. I still believe the teaching was very good and I would like THANK everyone involved.

Gostei bastante do curso, entretanto, algumas partes dos homeworks ficaram mal explicadas, além da falta de mais casos de testes para corroborar o que se pedia nas questões.

Very useful, but I cannot submit my assignment and ML is also not available for my computer

the course material was good and fun! but the discussion forum was not so active.

Clear content and good exercises, which need an investment of time and thinking.

Solid introduction to functional programming and programming languages concepts.

The peer review was too time consuming. Otherwise great course

A challenging course with some deep insight into programming.

Good intro. to Functional Programming

Muy buena información; nivel alto.

it's very useful, thanks

Quite interesting~

Very useful

so cool

good

good

Easy

no support from compiler nor editor & no IDE for debug; very dated approach to functional programming

It is far too much work to learn the completely outdated editing tool Emacs. I lost interest.
