Lab setup is faulty (maven does not compile without extra steps that students have to look up, work is lost from one day to the next), and Eclipse in the VM is really cumbersome to use. I would recommend to just upload the lab setup files, and let students install an IDE of their choice on their machine to get going. Have separate setup instructions for different IDEs if necessary. Some of the ungraded exercises are way too unclear, there is one with a flow diagram with just a lot of arrows pointing in to a factory and apparently we should know what order the inputs should be in even if the arrows indicate the exact same relationship to the factory for many items.

The overall content of the course was good, however there were spelling mistakes everywhere and overall a somewhat poor presentation of the learning material. The labs had to be completed using virtual machines which were slow and very burdensome to use. There was seemingly absolutely no engagement from any instructors with pupils taking the course.

First of all I wouldn't recommend taking this because the course hasn't been updated for a couple of years and it looks like nobody's upkeeping it,

Material is decent, labs are very easy but not so clear

Labs are done through a browser embedded VM using Eclipse and it's just horrible.

Having paid for courseera I was expecting detailed explanation of the subject with appropriate examples. The presenter seems to be just reading the slides. We can find far better videos and explanation of Spring on youtube which are free.

lab resulation is really bad , when I open the lab via MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) it was hard to do anyting.

I have a background on spring , it was nice to referach my knowledge , some of the topics are new to me.

Скучное монотонное повествование, виртуальный рабочий стол для лабораторных работ просто ужасен, никак не настроить нормальное разрешение экрана, всегда часть обрезана.

Its hard to work with the lab, video quality is poor, sometimes the screen is almost impossibly small to follow, too many typos.

Material is sloppy and difficult to understand. Labs are difficult to get working.

Instructor is not clear on which part of ppt he is on, labs videos are no visible

los videos tienen baja calidad, deberia de ser mas practico el curso

The instructor is just reading through slides

Labs solutions aren't clear

The info of the course is good but the quality of video for lab solution walkthrough is super blur, not a single word or code could be read clearly. Having bad experience on Course Lab because of the Lab quality itself is poor, laggy and slow. Wasted alot of time during lab. The lab instructions is not clear enough and the lab solution walkthrough is different from what lab instructions ask for.

Contents are not clear.

The instructor is monotonous and boring.

There are a lot of mistakes on the texts.

On some videos, subtitles are completely different of what the instructor is saying.

Some videos of exercise resolution, can not be seen because the resolution is very low.

It's the most horrible course I've ever seen

The quiz at the end of week two contains two big errors, I wonder if anyone proof read it.

That this course even mentions, and even starts of with, XML is just a big misstake. That way of configuring spring must have been dead for some years now ;)

Lab Setup is impossible not to mention there is no help at all from Coursera or otherwise. No one answers the Lab Setup questions in the forum and there are no instructions to set the lab up locally. Unenrolling for this reason.

The videos are very boring and the instructor just reads the ppt. I lost all my interest after watching first video.

no one is answering questions in forums. Can't finish the lab setup, no one is replying to forum questions

Outdated. Labs are not working properly you'll have to check forums and discussions to start learning

The voice from the instructor just make you feel sleepy, very hard to concentrate.

Sem suporte usar Spring descontinuado, fazendo assim impossível terminar o curso

If you don't pay yo can go throgh this course at all. Key classes are blocked.

this was below my expectation

please dont try this course
