It's better to name this course like Introduction to web services. The first two courses was useful for middle developers (and upper). It's just introduction for juniors. I think this course should not be included to "Software Design and Architecture".

If consider this course as an introduction, it's better to remove a section of legacy UDDI and BPEL and replace by GraphQL and JSON-RPC.

Satisfied overall, but my suggestion is you should improve the final project. Make the students able to see the GET / POST / PUT / DELETE method when calling the remote server, more details for what is learned in this course.

good course, however I think it has too much focus on very old technologies (CORBA, SOAP), and not enough focus on more recent technologies (REST).

The course can go more in-depth with the RESTful API design aspects. However, you can get past that by just referring to and reading the provided course notes thoroughly. Overall, the course does a great job for substituting a college-level course in Intro to Service Oriented Architecture.

Excelente

Lots of legacy information. Week 3 had the most value for me personally.

ＩIove the final assignment. If there are more, it will be better.

Every thing was good. The assignment review takes time :(

Very goodcontent. Assignments are interesting, but their content is not really covered in the course (UML, mobile app programming).

Excelent course, the describe basic and advanced information about web technologies, distributed systems, web services, soa architecture and micro services.

A bit superficial and the assignments are not challenging at all, but still worth while.

Nice !

Very shallow course. Quite incomplete and inconclusive final project. It was, without a doubt, the worst course of specialization. In general terms, I believe that we can not even consider these four courses a real specialization.

very well designed project

The difficulties of the home work is not that hard. The course can definitely dive deeper on some of the topics

easy

Hiring an actor to read a prompt is not helpful.

Some components quite outdated!

A very good course for beginners.

Very good course, excellent information

great course!

Good

Great Course in SOA.

Great..!

Not enough examples were provided to demonstrate the required coursework; the particulars of the rubric didn't match the assignment. Also, tying the assignments to an Android Studio project was overkill; the same principles could have been demonstrated with a SIMPLE java application.
