Teaching quality is decent. Eric Martin knows his stuff. My tutor was an international and was horrendous and incomprehensible unfortunately to the point nothing was gained from tutorials. However assessment task were often unclear and overcomplicated. The assignments were arbitrarily hard due to such specific requirements, output/whitespace matching. Today courses like this have to compete with self education and the plethora of resources available online, and justify their clear advantage by asking for such a high price comparatively. For some students who need structure maybe this course is justified. For motivated students, they would be better off building personal projects that have purpose, and self teach along the way. Interpreting tasks, and jumping through the hoops of this course was exhausting and a little soul crushing.
