Videos could have been a bit more engaging

Course was okay, not great but worthwhile.

All the time practice lab is not working.

Easily encounter 503 errors for the labs

too many problems with theia labs

Need to improve more please

Some code did't work in Labs

Very badly designed course

I didn't like this course.

More content and examples

The labs are very buggy.

Could have been better

好多东西根本没说啊，然后就要做作业，一脸懵逼

JSON links are broken.

Need more hand notes

carelessly prepared

I found it boring

Can be better

course is ok

too basic

Too basic

Pros: The labs were pretty good, particularly the early ones that used the Jupyter notebook, and those were the main way that I learned from this course. Cons: The video lectures were not at all engaging and didn't seem very necessary, and I just skimmed the transcript or skipped them entirely. Often there felt like a lack of alignment between the videos and labs and between the different modules, as if different people had put each of them together and hadn't coordinated well with each other. The later labs, on Dash, were not as good as the earlier ones - it's a cool system, but perhaps it was just too complex for this course - I felt like all I did was fill in a few blanks and didn't really understand it. But the biggest issue is that the assessments were poor. The multiple choice assessments at the end of each module were pretty useless - most questions were trivial, a few obscure, but almost none effectively tested either programming skills or conceptual understanding. The final project for this particular course was also not very good. It involved a large number of poorly defined tasks, supplemented with copious hints that did almost all the work for you, supplying you with almost complete that only required you to fill in a few words. To have actually figured out the tasks by myself would have been very laborious, if not impossible due to the lack of specificity in the instructions. But using the supplied code transformed it into merely an exercise in careful copying and pasting, and I don't feel like I learned that much.
