This was a thorough course on a beginning level and a re-introductory level which is what it was for me. In the past, logical operators and pointers were my weak spot disaster, but now I believe I have a better understanding. I at least know now how to ask a better question and find the answer on some of the stuck points I have.

It's hard to expect better examples from my point of view, but at this stage in the learning process, it's equally hard to create examples that don't confuse the point. So, i think Dr. Pohl did a good job of not rushing through anything, but expressions and pointers might be broken into smaller slices of examples.

On a technical side, a few of the video's audio was very low to a point where I maxed out my volume to hear it.

This course give a good introduction about C. It addresses many beginners pitfalls. The pace of increasing complexity is also not too fast. Next to that sound coding styles are given.

The exercises have a nice increasing complexity. I miss the possibility to view the 'best' solution of them with a discussion:Esp. the one about elephants is for a lot of people difficult.

I also noted that many students (50%+) copy wrong solutions of each other even without the effort to try to compile them (I reviewed of one of the exercises more then 9 times).

Suggestions:

It should not be so difficult to compile any entered solution to check at least if it compiles.

Force that each exercise should contain in the comments the output of the program.

The course great for a beginner. Prof. Ira Pohl has explained all the concepts in a very neat manner. We need to remember that this is an online course and everything cannot be taught by the teacher and he cannot clear all our doubts. We might need some Googling in between but that is all right by me. I had to give 4stars and not 5 because of errors in some quiz questions and less clarity in the assignment questions. As this an online course I expect 100% error free questions and very high clarity. Otherwise the course is great for beginners and also for people who want to refresh their memory.

This is a good way to pick up the fundamentals of C programming, and I think it's ideal for people who already know another language, like Python. If it had been my very first introduction to programming, it would have felt a bit fast-paced. There really isn't a lot of material. Each week has 1-2 hours of videos, and maybe an easy assignment or two. The peer grading is extremely relaxed. You'll do fine on the final if you really understand all the operators. To get good at programming in C, you'll need a lot of independent practice outside of this course.
