Though the course was a bit long for my liking,i enjoyed every single moment of doing this project.Now i have a good idea about the basics and can develop other websites on my own.

The course was half done. Many things like buying a domain name, hosting, etc were left off and the options WordPress shows there, like appearance, etc were not on my WordPress.

Very nice course, the instructor has fully explained how to set up a basic website from scratch. now I feel confident that I can set up a website for myself as well as my clients.

This course (Build a Full Website using WordPress) is very informative. After completing the course; students will be able to build a website using WordPress. Thanks, Stacy!

The course is helpful if you just want to make a website and do not want to learn web development skills. I wanted to make a website for me quickly so this guided project was beneficial for me.

This project was not comprehensive. But provide basic fundamental learning. The Instructor was quite lovely and made it pretty easy for the beginners. Thanks to her.

It is a good course for absolute starters in wordPress. I learned a lot through this course and this course can do wonders for a new creater who wants to learn this tool.

It uses wordpress.com and not wordpress.org, make sure you know what you are using.
This workshop is out of date. I can't see the same templates as the teacher is showing in her video, so it's very difficult to follow the guided project, actually, many times I have to find the way by my own to be in the same step as the teacher.
The video assumes that you have created an account in Wordpress and you have paid for a domain name. For someone like me without any knowledge of Wordpress, it is really not comfortable to pay for something you had no idea of. In the beginning of the course, there is nothing to mention about whether we should pay the fee for the domain name. It is really confusion.
This course provides so basic knowledge. It should have some deep knowledge on creating extraordinary Wordpress sites
I have learnt a lot from Coursera and I think this is one of the best learning platform but this particular course wasn't good at all. The instructor couldn't explain properly moreover the cloud desktop wasn't working at all. Overall I wouldn't recommend anybody to take up this course.
Extremely basic course on how to build a basic template website. Although this is advertised as an "advanced" level course ANYONE can take it. No prior skills or knowledge needed - it is that easy
What an awful waste of time and money. This is my first time using WordPress, and I do not recommend this course to anyone. It is way too simple, and outdated. I do not mean to sound condescending, but I must be honest. Youtube is a better choice and outlines the pros and cons of using different platforms and being more meticulous about things. To explain my case, just search Youtube for the 'most views' for <How to use WordPress>, then open the top 5 videos and watch the one with the 'highest ratings'. As an engineer, I like facts, and this course did not explain anything to me, it was a lot of time typing things which were unnecessary. It would have been a tad better if the project guide explained what she was typing ... To explain how it is important to be simple and to showcase your product in a simple way. Clicking on buttons teaches you nothing, but teaching the relevance of the "buttons" and "written descriptions" would teach you everything. One final point: not being able to go full screen for the videos was also very uncomfortable. The screen where the student could work alongside the lecturer was also slightly delayed ... I just opened up a new tab and worked from there. It was much quicker working in a separate tab.
I paid $9.99 for this WordPress course only to find I have to register for yet another added monthly subscription to continue. I gave you one star because there's no option to give you less. Also there is no option to de-register for the course. Disgusted
This course is dated. The Wordpress now and the Wordpress demo do not match. Wordpress has been updated, but the course hasn't been updated to reflect that.
The Interface is not the same as the lecture video and this makes learning very difficult. The Instructor should make another tutor video with the current Wordpress interface. The current one ends up leaving learners confused and does not make learning interesting.
Wordpress has updated its interface while the video follows the old interface. So its very diffcult to follow the video and make a website because the steps have changed.
This is a very good course. Short, simple buy extremely helpful. I thank the instructor and Coursera for this wonderful course. I recommend this course to my friends and colleagues immediately.
The screen shots don't match the updated version of WordPress.
The instructor speaks in a manner which is difficult to understand. Hesitating here and there and speeding up and slowing down.
Should have given Zero if there was an option. Coursers needs to upgrade their quality of courses. Useless and waste of money and time.
This course was a painless introduction to WordPress. I'm somewhat intimidated by new software, but it was easy to follow along and complete the tasks. The project-based aspect was very gratifying; at the end of it all, you had a website that you built.

Very very basic
The course is outdated, it has videos as per the old version of wordpress.
The information was good and the instructor went at a good pace. However, Wordpress has changed their interface slightly since this course was made. Therefore it was difficult to follow along. I eventually had to stop because of the inconsistencies, it was just too time consuming and frustrating to navigate to the right place. Hopefully, the next course I take about Wordpress will be a little more up-to-date.
So So basic... Description of course is not what I thought.
