The tests were really difficult and the multiple answer questions mixed with the multiple choice and true and false made it nearly impossible to pass. The tests really need to be restructured.

The course could use more practical examples and generally be more concrete - it's quite theoretical and very very broad. But generally it's a nice course and I gained some useful knowledge

Information was useful, but the assessments were terrible- the worst designed assessment of any course I have taken so far. As an educator myself who is heavily involved in standardized testing, you do not use "Select ALL" MCQ choices in your questions- this is ambiguous and does not promote learning. The instructors really need to work on improving this course!

For a course on instructional design, I found this course to be very poorly designed. The lectures were not at all interactive and many of the videos seemed to be based on reading definitions off a powerpoint. I was disappointed by this because I've taken many other interesting and high-quality courses on Coursera. I would not recommend this one.

This is a course on how to do instructional design, but it really should be considered as a course on what NOT to do. Don't include long video lectures. Make your assessments match your content. This is absolutely horribly put together.

Worst class I have taken. Excruciatingly boring except for the lady from South America and the man who talked about PM and SMEs. The quizzes were way too difficult. Why can't you make this course good like the MBA class?

For a course teaching about instructional design, it is poorly designed. Especially from the assessments point. Content fill the requirements but not great.

The lectures are incredibly dry and difficult to sustain interest. I find it ironic that a course on design and instruction could be so unengaging.
