I am a bit disappointed. I did not mean, that the course is not useful, but most of the material is blurred, incoherent, out of the blue, and not presented well. Kruchten's 4+1 View has bad naming, blurry explanations, needs real examples. I asked for clarifications about the material on the forum for Week 2 six times (without answers). You had better check ATAM in the original papers (30+ pages) and Quality Attributes are foggy (Week 3). The solution for the last capstone assignment does not cover half of the assignment (Week 4). There are testing questions for not presented terms. But, the science that is behind the course (Kruchten's Views, UML, ATAM, Architecture types) are very useful, so for me (who never heard of half of them) taking the course worth it. I mean, the course showed me what needs to understand for becoming a better programmer.

Some of the links didn't work. When installing the application I asked for help to solve problems, I did not receive a response. The examples of using the technique from module 4 were not sufficient to complete the task. Judging by the projects that I had to check, many people did not understand how to move from scenario to a utility tree. A lot of theory and terms without explanation of how this knowledge will be useful in practice. Only the first model has been worked out in detail (with questions during the video, tasks for self-fulfillment). Modules 2 and 3 are just a set of videos about terms. Tests do not show a practical understanding of the topic, but only how well the student remembered the terms. The course is good for getting acquainted with terminology, with UML diagrams. For real architectural design, it gives very little.

I stucked at step " Capstone Assignment 3.2 – Draw a Deployment Diagram" due to the source code using the TOOOO old version 4

Theory and useless UML. Not recommended for experienced specialists. Academic approach and no value

No se dan los suficientes ejemplos para facilitar la asimilación de la materia.

have very good teachers but i was expecting cloud or serverless architecures.

I'm very sorry to give this rating because it's clear they've put a lot of effort into the course, but it's based on an outdated methodology that doesn't help with learning. It's the old-fashioned way of reading slides. The videos become tedious since the presenter just keeps reading. I completely agree with their first message, the course can be passed by reading the notes, and that's one of the most positive aspects: the notes and the information they share. Thanks.

Too general, not enough concrete examples, highly theoretical.
