Great course for anyone wanting to get into Software Engineering, or a great refresher for those who have SE experience but need to fill in any gaps they may have. Highly recommended!
PK
A very valuable addition, many people solely focuses on technical part but this course enhanced and extended my knowledge on different aspects and approach of a developer.
RP
This course surprised me in its applicability to software development. It is a great first course in establishing a foundation of programming before actually doing any programming itself.
SA
This fantastic course provides the foundation and knowledge of different technical roles, methodologies, frameworks, jobs to consider, and advice from SMEs on this career journey.
GJ
It is a good course for people who want to know what is software engineering, what kind of role do you play as a software engineer, what kind of tools and skills you'll need and learn.
LA
This course is the best introduction course in Coursera in terms of learning everything you need to know about Software Development. You will feel like a pro after completing this course.

This course is good if you are new to the field of software engineering. However, the voice generator sounds outdated. If this video had aired in the 80s or 90s, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Taking this online course has added not only credit, but also a big contribution to the knowledge I have in the field of software engineering. Big love to IBM team.
SE
This is a great course taught by industry experts.I find the experts viewpoints very educating because it gives insight into how Software Engineers solve problems daily
HV
Pauses are needed when transitioning to different topics.. at times I guess we students get confused when does a sub topic start within the video and when does it end
SU
This course is amazing it covers all fundamental concepts that are required for Software Engineering. This course helped me to master concepts and fundamentals. Thanks Coursera & IBM

If you're into robot voice narration and 1980s style educational editing for laser disk productions, this flashback to the past is for you.
This Introductory course to Software Engineering was all-rounded. After taking this course, the information it delivers is well-rounded and fundamental for a beginner.
Incredibly boring course. Presented by TikTok voice. A complete waste of time.
The course content is Awesome & i got the overview of the software industry quickly. But they use robot voice. I tried hard to keep focused but it very difficult to keep up with the robot presenter. A real human could made this things more pleasant.
Simple enough to fast track the learning, while it still manages to maintain the depth levels which allows learner to grapsh the main aspects on software engineering
Very bad and very boring.
A great course by all standards, however, I didn't really enjoy the AI or computer generated voice that was reading the lecture notes. I'd prefer a real person took us through the course. I also enjoyed the industry people who gave their experiences in software development at the various work places
Extremely bloated and doesn't start with what's important. It feels like a song in a constant state of build-up but never gets to the point.
It's okay course if you have absolutely no idea about IT and programming at all. Otherwise, you end up listening to boring text read by machine reader. There's a reason why you need a real person in the course, it just makes it real, personal.
This course is the best introduction course in Coursera in terms of learning everything you need to know about Software Development. You will feel like a pro after completing this course.
they are issuing certificate to coursera
not to the participant who enrolled the course

This course is a must to enroll for beginners in software engineering. I really like the way they present the lecture, and the hands-on activity.
I've never seen a course about anything, anywhere, as boring as this: It's basically a multiple hour powerpoint read out by a monotone generated voice. It's stultifying. Awful.
certificate without name is being issued
ai voice is hard to listen yo

There were some errors in the practical exercies in coding.
And in some places the explanation was too abstract
