I think this course has a lot of value, but when I started these course I was unaware I would need a few hundred more dollars and did not budget for such things.
It was good to get to work on an individual project at the end of the specialization. The requirements for the capstone were unclear as the videos present a huge project compared to the 4 weeks, 3-5 hours per week commitment indicated for this capstone and there is talk of self-sustainability for the solution etc. that ultimately is not in the review criteria.
Applying common sense and scoping the project to the commitment does work out to a good learning by doing experience.
