The course itself is great, however it fails on the activities where we need to evaluate colleagues and receive this evaluation. There is no evaluation available on time.
Great fun, especially the actor and director interviews! Wish I could have gotten quizzes graded without paying$!
I had a very good experience learning with Coursera
was extremely helpful. had best learning experience from the course.
