    I dropped it after getting to the fourth week. Only one of the weeks really covers generalized web design principles for creating responsive sites. The rest of the course has you learning particular libraries, which is bad because libraries go in an…

    Mark Riker completed this course, spending 3 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

    The course starts with a short introduction on the topic of usability and user experience. A good idea, but not very well presented. Next is an intro to bootstrap. OK, but not deep enough for a course called "Responsive Web Design". The last two weeks cover JavaScript. Or more precisely: they cover a few JavaScript libraries.
    To sum it up, the course was OK, but could use a revision. There are too many mistakes in the examples and sometimes, the instructors look a bit unprepared and confused.

    This class relies on shortcuts, specifically the Bootstrap library, so it doesn't actually teach the fundamentals of CSS or JavaScript. If you hope to get a job after this course, pray your future employer doesn't expect you to be able to decipher existing code or use WordPress.

    This was an exceptionally good course, and served as a good overview of designing websites to be responsive to different devices. The lectures are detailed in the how and why of the code used, and gives a good starting point to build your own websites from.
