I am really happy I did this course. The instructor is a really experienced teacher. This course gave a good start for learning the fundamentals and moving onto complex programming languages like C++.

Great course to gain a foundation in C programming! The video lectures, coding examples, and peer reviewing of assignments allows one to learn quick and in real time. Would definitely recommend it.

Very disappoining course. I give this course a 2 on a scale of 0 to 5. Instead of this course, I recommend potential students look at other C programming courses.
Teaching Style: The course is taught in an old style, where there are many lectures covering theory without practical examples. The newer and better teaching style is to teach a bit of theory, practice writing code with some practical exercises, then present more theory, then more practice writing more code. In this course one of the weeks in this course is only lectures. For that week it would have been nice to get some breaks between the lectures to practice writing code using the concepts that were just presented.
The concept of presenting lecture material hand written on a white board is terrible. It is difficult to read the scribbling and cursive writing. The lecture material could be much better presented if it was printed in a Word document or on a Powerpoint slide, or in a graphical computer tool.
The whole course is poorly assembled. There appear to be missing lectures. One of the lectures refers to another lecture that does not exist in the course. The assignments are poorly defined. To complete the assignments outside research is required to learn about functions and concepts that are not taught in the course. In two of the quizes, answers are incorrect. The final exam has questions that have nothing to do with writing C code.
An example of a much better Coursera course for teaching style is "Python For Everyone". I can highly recommend that course. The material is presented in a practical manner, the lecture presentations are easy to read and follow along, and there are many opportunities to practice writing code.
