Great course to learn the concepts of Software Designing and how it is used in real business scenarios. This course is indeed very helpful for aspiring product developers who aim to be an architect.

Tying the assignments to an Android Studio project was overkill; the same principles could have been demonstrated with a SIMPLE java application.

this is a very nice course, it's kind of primary, i guess it can use much more practical examples rather than using the dog and cat examples.

I don't know why the examples are Android applications. It would have been easier to use python or even java running the virtual machine.

Good introductory course in Object Oriented Programming

Content was good, but the assignments are not. The final capstone assignment is largely a copy-paste exercise from a line-by-line tutorial, based on an Android app. Those without expertise in Android will find themselves having to learn that first, even though it should be unnecessary given the content. The assignment does not actual demonstrate any of the concepts from the class. Peer discussion forums are almost entirely people asking for reviews rather than any meaningful discussion.

I've expected more from Coursera. This particular course contends more outdated information, weird questions that are not going to help in the real-life daily job. Week 4 which is supposed to be the big project contains a lot of copy-paste and all thinking activity how to use Android studio. Knowledge of UML diagrams was not tested, all code that supposed to be written by a course listener was already provided, no thinking was required. Disappointed

Poorly prepared course very boring material and grading system is awful you must grade three other student tasks and they must grade you so in case you all missed something you all pass from tasks but a fake pass because you are all missing something Coursera peer grading system is the worst I have ever seen

Honestly, this course is very poor and doesnt gives you necessary tools to model a object oriented solution in UML. The exercises need to be more real , what i mean is there isnt any code to help us to understand the real application of UML in POO.

Please don't take this course. The course assignments and materials except video is completely broken. There are so many things which doesn't make sense with other.

don't waste your money. Watch talks on youtube, you will gain more from a 1h talk at a conference than 10h from this course

This comprehensive course has significantly elevated my proficiency in Java programming, particularly through an in-depth exploration of object-oriented analysis and design principles. The key takeaways include: Advanced Object-Oriented Design: Mastery of creating modular, flexible, and reusable software through the application of object-oriented design principles and guidelines. Acquisition of skills to analyze and design sophisticated software systems. Unified Modeling Language (UML): Proficiency in communicating complex designs through the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML), a standard visual notation for software modeling. Capstone Project Challenge: Application of acquired knowledge through a challenging Capstone Project involving the evolution and documentation of a Java codebase for an Android application, accompanied by comprehensive UML documentation. Key Achievements: Application of the Class Responsibility Collaborator (CRC) technique for robust problem analysis and object-oriented model design. In-depth understanding and application of object-oriented modeling principles, encompassing abstraction, encapsulation, decomposition, and generalization. Proficient knowledge and application of various types of inheritance. Clear comprehension of association, aggregation, and composition dependencies. Skill in expressing object-oriented models using UML class diagrams. Ability to seamlessly translate between UML class diagrams and equivalent Java code. Application of design guidelines for achieving modularity, separation of concerns, information hiding, and conceptual integrity, resulting in flexible, reusable, and maintainable designs. Insight into the crucial tradeoff between cohesion and coupling in software design. This course has not only enriched my Java skill set but has also empowered me with a robust foundation in object-oriented design principles, setting the stage for building high-quality, scalable software solutions.

As an introductory course I found this fair. It introduced concepts at a good pace, the material was well constructed and delivered, and the content was on topic with an emphasis on software design and not coding.
After completing this course you have an idea of how to go about solving your software problems visually and can communicate the state of the issue well with others. The terminology and UML are valuable tools that I will continue to practice going forward.
I did have some issues with Android studio, but the emphasis of this course was on software design, not code/frameworks.

The course helped bring all the concepts together. The concept of "Conceptual integrity" is the biggest takeaway for me - "Implementing software in a consistent manner as if it were written by one person". Over time, as multiple people work on the code base, it loses consistency and hinders readability and maintainability. That's why it is so important for teams to follow design principles, communicate frequently and effectively, and perform proper code review.Overall, a great course. I would recommend it to every one part of a software development team.

A very good introduction to software architecture and OOP. Much more serious than other courses and with practical experience in Android which is useful to apply theoretical concept in real programming.
For someone not used to Java programming or Android development this is both a challenge and an opportunity to learn, but for sure requires some time more.
Finally, I really appreciated the peer-to-peer review of assignment, it was the first time for me for this kind of evaluation and I really enjoyed it.
