Excellent course. Great balance of theory and practice.

Perfect :)

This is an Amazing course !! A must take for cs enthusiasts

very good

I have never wondered building a computer by simple logical elements until I found this course!

This course is simple and funny.

Fantastic course. I recommend it to anyone who not only want to know how a computer works, but want to build one out of transistors.

Fascinating course. Where is the part two?

This course is just great. I'm a third-year CS student, but I wanted to revise concepts I have seen and glue them together, because a lot of times we students have various assignatures for different "blocks of knowledge" but we don't actually connect them together, so they stay as isolated concepts. As a "midly-veteran" student, some parts of this course are basic for me, but I really liked the course overall.

Excellent course, didactic and informative. Every step is natural and easy to understand. Recommended to anyone who wonder how they work this incredible machines.

thank you for such a great course :D

Building ALU, RAM based on Nand from scratch is a very educational process.

Excellent! I have my degree in EE and thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I highly recommend this course.

This course is worth every hour you spend on it, it is by far the most accomplishing course I took.

Excellent course! I learned a ton and the challenge level was just right.

Excellent introduction to how computer works.

Looking forward to part 2 of the course on Coursera!

Incredible course!! I still can't believe that I was able to design all these hardware chips, including a CPU in 6 weeks, knowing nothing about it in the first place. It was exactly what I was looking for, a good introduction to hardware without having to take a 6 month class on Computer Architecture.

The material is extremely well done (book, lectures, assignment), the only part I liked less was the forum, mentors reply often by repeating what was said in the lecture which is not helpful.

I learned a great deal, I understand more computer, and I believe I will help me writing better code.

Thanks

An amazing course that gets you started with whats inside a computer, and how it works.

该门课程适合于拥有一定计算机基础和数字电路基础的同学学习。本人学习该门课程后对于计算机体系结构有了更直观的印象和了解，对于经过计算机硬件设计有了更好的基础，推荐本科生和硕士研究生第一年级学习该门课程。

A truly wonderful course to learn how computers *actually* work from the fundamental level of digital logic circuits all the way up to assembly language, CPUs and RAM. You get to design your own circuits and programs, and test your designs using a wonderful set of free tools developed especially for this course. I would recommended getting the textbook and studying the lecture notes in addition to the video lectures. This course is challenging but oh so rewarding! It is truly an accomplishment when you can figure out how to get something to work! It almost feels like you're actually building your computer system. I LOVE this class. Looking forward to Part II :)

Just what I was looking for. I was curious a computer actually worked, and now I know. :-)

The best way to learn is to make it.

The best ever~!

Very interesting course to learn VHDL basics.

Computer system internals, hardware and software architectures, concept of abstraction, divide and conquer method, the fun of building hardware, and the fun of writing programs, all combined into this course, in an organised way, I can't think of a better course and a better teaching!

fantastic course! a very helpful course to understand how a computer works.
