Content was relevant. It could have been delivered in a more varied and engaging way. Different subject matter experts presenting on different topics. Accent very difficult to understand at times. Some of the assessment exercises focused on content that was barely covered while key elements seemed to get minimal focus at times. The level of plagiarism and copying evident in some of the peer-reviewed work was concerning.

I have taken the two start out due to the issues of assignment and grading. For the online course, assignment and peer grading may not be the best options and if the university re-look that aspects and stick to the online quizes to certify then it makes a great experience. Course content is good.

For an intermediate course I found the info too easy and lightweight. The longer the course takes the more it got fragmented and the host seems to loose enthusiasm over time. Videos snippets always follow same pattern.

Good material, but assignments were too easy, and most peers I had to peer review were either bots or entering nonsense submissions.

I already did several courses, in loco and remote, about agile. Only one was really nice. Why not showing a quick theater of a day by day scrum team? Scenes of starting the day, receiving a new project, studying together, sprint planing, planing poker and a daily scrum. We don't need the review and retrospective because there are similar to any other way of dealing with project but It is crucial to see the things happening. Why not interview or show a quick activity of an scrum team? Ask gitlab, github, google, some of them will allow a quick recording of a generic activity. The lack of real world agile make this course really a dummy one.

The course material was vague and dilute. Questions frequently sought answers which were not provided by the course material. I felt incredibly unprepared for the assignments, owing to the poor instruction. A person would be using their time more wisely simply following a structured approach to learning about Agile through other web resources.

I didn't find the specialization and this course in particular useful. It has low quality videos, unstructured information, and doesn't give enough knowledge to start working.

Also, the last course of the specialization requires background in programming, otherwise you will not be able to complete the specialization.

The instructor never really used their industry experience to make the class unique. It was basically ready slides and memorizing vocab. Also, the instructor kept saying "he" when referring to software developers.
