It was very tough for an introductory course. It can be made simpler for a novice to understand.

there were modules with "upgrade to continue". either the course is free, or it isn't. coursera isn't quantum mechanics. it's not a superposition of "free", and "not free". i don't mind paying for a class, but what i do mind is signing up for a class, going through the first two modules, then being told to "upgrade to take/complete this assignment"

Honestly not worth anybody's time. 90% is youtube videos and that's the best part of the course. I'd recommend just searching for basic quantum computing learning on youtube. The rest of the course is repetitive, one video is included twice lol, and extremely hard to understand due to ESL presenters.

What a shameless money grab. They probably just stole the content and are reading it blandly without any interpretation. Take the IBM series. It is free and actual good, useful content.

The teaching method is very drab. It looks like the instructor is reading from a prompter or something. Also as the name suggests, Quantum computing for everyone should be taught in a more layman language. But it looks like since the instructor is reading from a prompter or something, he just gives sentences without trying to explain it in a more layman language like with some examples.

This is the BEST course I have done so far on Coursera - and I have done many. There was so much information provided - including excellent reference materials and sources of further reading. It was possible to learn so much more than provided in the course content due to this excellent additional material. Thank you - I so enjoyed this course.

This course was a deep dive into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics, superposition, entanglement, and how quantum computers are poised to revolutionize the future of technology. From learning the fundamental principles to exploring the potential applications in cryptography, optimization, and beyond, it was an eye-opening experience.

the variety of examples and exercises provided the right amount of information to allow familiarity and understanding of the materials including opening doors for further learning outside of the course

Great introduction and course! Wished it was longer and become a specialization.
