Very good course for starting with COBOL or remove the dust and remind just is my case. Videos long enough. Quizzes agree with content. Labs could be a little more demanding. Thanks a lot.

Excellent use of platform and outstanding material for presentation and understanding. I also very much enjoyed the quircky-ness of the presenter and his humour.Thank you very much!

I am distracted by errors in the course. Week 3 quiz scores 2 (two) questions incorrectly. 1) The correct answer to the upper-case('Hello World!) is marked as incorrect. 2)There is no correct solution offered to the display 100 thru 200. One of the wrong answers is scored as correct. I want a perfect score on this course. Please fix these issues. Otherwise, I liked the videos: good balance of information and humor. And you should warn uses NOT to use CHROME browser - it trashes the lab documents - readable but looks bad.

This is a good course. It covers the essentials, with explanations which are apt and to the point, all in an agreeable style, with a touch of humour. The labs are relevant and well explained, although the exercices are about debugging, not writing code. I do miss some written course materials (the slides used, the book that's mentioned a couple of times, etc.).

The content was great and Jeff Bisti was quite engaging and, at times, entertaining. The only reason I didn't give the course five stars is I wasn't able to get much help either from the stack or course discussion threads. It would be helpful to either have a bank of Q and A (quite extensive) or someone I could email to ask questions as I went along.

This was good once I had VS set up. That was not bad except for getting the password. The whole thing with slack was confusing and not explained well. Once I had the password things fell into place. Once I had the whole VS setup in gear I really liked it

Very recommendable course, clear and simple. However, I expected more complicate exercises and be forced to investigate deeply into the documentation. But it´s ok to get a first contact with this language.

Very interesting course with both theory & practice. It is a good starting point to get your hand dirty with COBOL.

After auditing this course, I came to the conclusion it overall approaches the topic in a more instructional and methodical manner than others of its kind. Lecture, quiz and labs. A good approach. However, I was quite disappointed when I discovered the Labs are the EXACT same Labs provided with the Open Mainframe Project Cobol Programming Course which happens to be a course I had already completed and being dissatisfied came looking for others to hopefully teach me more. I'm very glad I did not pay for this!

Good information, but I expected to be able to have an assignment to completely write a code start to finish. It doesn't seem to tell you how to start one, just edit existing. It's slightly disapointing. I originally learned COBOL on an IBM mainframe and am uncertain about VS code use to begin a program. I guess I'll have to try on my own, but the course should have covered it at least a bit.
