I've been having a really hard time dealing with C++ pointer and reference. But for some reason, it all just clicked after a few exercises in this course.

Very nice course to boost up a little bit your general programming, plus the knowledge of hard to learn C++ advanced features like pointers, classes etc.

The course is fun, challenging and fast paced. Its amazing how much of C++ is covered in such a short duration without compromising the importance of it.

From Little or no idea about OOP to having enough confidence to write about 200 lines of code, that's where this course took me.Thanks to Wade Fagen.

Great course, I was able to go through the basics up to an intermediate knowledge of the C++ language. It has a great theoretical/practical approach.

Learning a difficult language like C++ is really boring, but the Professor really made it interesting and easy to understand. Thanks for the course.

awesome course! Its a really good introduction to OOP. Assignments were okay. The lectures and examples are well defined, 100% recomended to anyone!

I really love how this course is organized

a punch of well-chosen topics instructed by brilliant professor filled a lot of gaps in my understanding

An Excellent Teacher, An Excellent Syllabus, An Excellent Course!!! Thank you dear Professor Wade Fagen Ulmschneider. It was an amazing experience!

Excellent course! The way the course instructor presents the material is very engaging, and the teaching staff are extremely helpful and proactive.

Relatively easy if you have any experience with C++, but good and straightforward introduction to basic concepts and lecture videos are well-made.

A little outdated on the C++ side, but the content was great. The lab assignment in Week 4 is especially great, don't forget to have fun with it!

Great course and instructor. It covered lots of important C++ topics in an easy to understand way.

I had fun while learning new things! Thank you!

I liked it a lot. If you want to learn OOP within exploring how to make own Datatypes and use them, this course is just for you. Thank you uiuc!

Excellent course. Instructor explains concepts clearly and the assignments were fun, particularly the final assignment about image processing.

It was a lot of fun, and challenging -- but not too challenging! :) I would recommend taking the course if it is made available to the public.

Excellent beginning of the specialization, lots of areas to ponder and explore apart from the coursework, not for absolute beginners though

Good concise explanation of underlying concepts, easy review of theories. Only issue maybe with the issue of clearing doubts on the forums

This course helped me personally to overcome all my poor C++ knowledge

I really appreciate the course !!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH coursera.

Fantastic lecture ! If you already have a programming background and want to refresh your C++ basics, this course is perfect for you.

I genuinely loved the course , the course and the included assignments build a good foundation of Object Oriented C++ programming .

Loved the course as it was refresher for me. Very nicely explained c++ concepts and structured. Also, the assignments and the quiz.

Very practical and enjoyable course that I recommend to every person that want an accelerate way of leanring C++ and Data Structure

Eric is really nice and patient, explaining things in an extremely clear way, and I've learnt a lot from this course！Thanks UIUC!

Very well organized and communicated. Quiz and assignment difficulty were well inline with material contents. A great c++ primer.
