This couse is full of benefit. Content of the course is very accurate. Teacher who was teaching was also good. I would suggest to all the beginner to learn this topic who are interested in IoT field.

This is really a very good course for the people who want to understand the IoT & Cloud computing from basic to enhanced level. The practical approach of assignment of each area is fantastic.

I felt it was too basic. It took me about a week, but if I'd had the time I could have done it all in a day. Hope the rest of the specialization is more in-depth.. Also there are no forums.. makes it impossible to interact when you have questions.

The teacher really doesn't understand how to lecture to beginners. Often he will say really simple things, then add an advanced concept, that you are expected to know. It is quite obvious that he doesn't rehearse or write down his lecture.

Expected more visual materials to be used.
subject somehow not connected or related.
systematic approach is needed.
it did not make me more interested in the subject.
I would say this is an introductory course, not even beginners level.

Pros:-
Gives a brief overview of IoT ecosystem. Dr. Harris teaches complex things in an easy manner.
Cons:-
Assignments are not available for audit students. Request coursera to open assignments for audit students as well.

The course is short and basic. Just an introduction to know what IoT is. If you have any experience with Arduino or Raspberry Pi, I don't recommend this. Good course for people with no previous knowledge of the topics.

Some of the links have gone stale. Some of the instructions for assignments seemed to assume a lot of prior knowledge of Wireshark and others, making completing assignments difficult.

It's a decent introductory class, but way too much information is repeated and the wireshark peer reviewed assignment doesn't even work properly and the tutorial is out of date.

The videos were very large, the professor did not focus on what was really important, instead he talked about a lot of examples ans lost the main point in many lectures.

The course is far too much introductory and the practical assignments are not challenging enough. Yet it is only an introductory course for the IoT specialization.

Very basic course, not recommend for college level learners. The assignments are easy but they are all peer reviewed and thus a waste of time.

Very good course. I do not like the concept of peer review assignment though because they prevent you from going at your own pace.

The course is good if you don麓t know the basics of networks and data communicationsotherwise it will be very easy to complete.

Maybe include some way to interact with the lessons? Provide some way of assemble and disassemble components possibly?

Sometimes too easy, but may be good as a start point. Video lessons are long for the amount of the shared information.

Starts very simplistically. Since I was auditing the class, there was no feedback for quizes of exercises.
