    This is very good course for understanding software engineering and structuring one's knowledge about software development process. The lecturer is professional, well-spoken and subtle. Everything is great for learning.

    Exam is terrible impossible to pass, unbelievable. Not sure why we have to take the exam since we already have to worry about the capstone project. I feel like UBC is trying hard for students to not succeed with the micromaster. I'm not a big fan of the instructor of this course it feels like he is teaching to himself instead teaching to students at their level! I'm very disappointed with UBC.
