A great course for someone starting out with digital design and simulation. The course work will progressively increase over the weeks but the concepts are brilliantly explained. I personally found the HDL lectures very monotonous. But other than that, the course is amazing.

Good material and coverage, good interactive quizzes in videos and end quizzes. The software on the virtual machine is a little rough to navigate at first and is pretty finicky however. Would find a way of incorporating the assignments in a better software.

Overall, it is a helpful and nice course introducing knowledge about digital circuits. While some parts could be improved, such as more explicit examples in the videos or including some VHDL practice exercises. Thanks.

Everything about the basics of Digital Electronics was clearly explained, touching almost all areas. I faced a little bit difficulty in following the English accent of some instructors.

Very nice introductory course, broad explanation of traditional logic gates and synthesis tools. Graded Exercises and Practice exercises are chosen perfectly to grasp the topic

This is a very good course for experts as well as beginners . Quiz assignments were very challenging . I like the concept of practice and solved quiz

It is really helpfull for the individuals who want to be perfect in digital design. And also can learn the basic processor design.

Questions are good. It's better if they provide your way of solving the quiz questions and practice questions

Great for getting back in touch with the subject. And it's design with the industry needs in mind.

the theory questions in week 6 and 8 quizes were not covered properly in the material

the course is very interresting to get started with digital systems design

The VHDL part was not upto the mark. The rest of the course was okay.

Helpful for basic understanding of digital circuit design

basic course for understanding to digital electronics

It's a little hard to learn in 6,7,8 weeks.

Thanks for the well structured course

It was a good refresher course.

Good course but very tough .

The course was really good.

Nice detailed slides!

I wanted to refresh what I learned in undergrad, believing that I was now interested in exploring a career change from software development to designing embedded systems. The time commitment required is much greater than advertised. First, the weekly lectures frequently skimmed passed material that will be tested in the associated quiz, forcing you to scour the forums and Google to expand on the material (ex: cube notation). Second, the way the quizzes were crafted were borderline cheap shots at making the class difficult. For example, weeks seven thru eight's practice quizzes would have problems of a certain type, only so that the graded quiz would list problems of a completely different type. What was the point of practicing then? Third, the VM for the circuit diagramming labs was so locked down, you couldn't increase the display resolution so many hours are wasted squinting at the monitor to move the cursor literally 1-2 pixels over lest a signal isn't actually connected. All these factors contribute to making the time commitment realistically >= 5 hours per week for the practice and graded quizzes alone, as you will be redoing them multiple times. Overall, I would recommend you find another reputable university to cover Digital Systems.

Very theoretical, but at the same time, goes deep into real-world considerations of digital circuit design, like gate delays and physical. This is what I appreciate about the course.

However, the grading is too archaic for some questions. The VM-based digital design quizzes were great, and the software used is well documented, but the multiple choice questions are a bit contrived. It would be better if there was some way to also grade the final processor design, like in nand2tetris.

Also the intructors' speaking gets downright incomprehensible at certain points.

I was really helpful by the advance of this course.I an VLSI student got an understanding of designing of the processor.But it might have been more compact and good if the "TEST BENCH " of the design is also included with it .

Thanks for your effort .
