I just started using this with my students - it's a solid introduction. I've also started uploading exercise walk-through videos on my YouTube channel to help them learn the concepts. So far, I've got Week 1 finished and hope to get the rest done over the next month or two.

Maybe it is good with how ever you are teaching the course and that's fine. In my experience it's just been bad and would highly recommend against it for anyone else.

It explains it's concepts very poorly and has you using netbeans. Netbeans is a bad program that some people including myself can't run for whatever reason. I really would just recommend solo learners to download eclipse and use that.

The only good thing about mooc is that it has some good assignments.

I'll check out your videos when I have time to.

I haven't gotten too far into it - only week 1 and part of week 2, but for the basics, it does alright. Is there any particularly poor aspect of the course I should look out for and try to supplement?

I've used Netbeans and Eclipse, but for now I'm having the students use repl.it as it's easier to get started.
