Very fun and engaging course. Allows you to interact with your peers and gain valuable feedback. The interviews were also very useful as they showed how concepts could be utilized in other fields.

This was a fun course. Helped understands the basics of software development. The lectures were small and that I guess was the best part. A lot of projects helped in really putting all that knowledge into real projects.

A good introductory course to programming using Scratch, which teach you about the concept in programming. It's interesting and statisfying to be able to make your own animation/simple game.

It will be much better if you people will improve peer-graded assignments as peers don't take it serious and give others bad grades and not according to expectations... Thank You

The Course should be updated to Scratch 3.0, because there are many functions that changed from Version 2.0 to 3.0. In Summary i had a lot of fun during the course.

I really enjoyed the course and the instruction was great. I would have liked it more if there was a written component for the materials to use as a reference.

Fantastic course!!! A few technical glitches and it could use an update to the new software, but overall I really enjoyed learning everything in this course.

Good intro to programming! Great explanation in a visual interface (scratch) that can later be applied to other programming languages. Good foundation course.

O curso é muito bom e passa uma ideia muito boa sobre a lógica da programação. Poderia ter mais opções de programas e não tantos jogos.

The course itself was very great, well presented and easy to get to grips with. However, I feel the peer review system is a bit flawed.

It's a good way to start in code. But it's just for a program; well still being a good course, funny and you can learn a lot :) thanks

Good introductory level. Some lessons can feel a tad pointless though and it never gets truly hard. A good foundation though.

pretty good beginner course, although I won't recommend it for someone who is already quite advanced with scratch.
