    (This review is based on my experience in HKMOOC.)
    The materials provided are unclear and confusing. First, the resolutions of the videos are very low that I can't clearly see the codes on the video. Also, there are confusing questions in quizzes and exams, and I can't know why the answers are right/wrong. The questions themselves are also boring.
