Bugs in Coursera Grading

[marlonjan]

There are various bugs / problems in the grading mechanics. Individual descriptions of the problems can be found in the course forums.

I believe it would be very beneficial to give a quick response in the forums, acknowledging the bugs, and giving people a rough idea when they can expect a fix. Otherwise students will constantly be wondering if it's a problem in the grading or a problem in their solution.

Thanks a lot : )

I was beta testing the course and I reported some problems but no body responded and I saw no one in forums too.I waited for this course and I wanted to do it with a lot more people so that we could discuss and learn so I tried switching to May 11 session but nothing happens when I click the join session button.Are you taking the course now are you in the May 11 session.I am alone in that course .... :(

@Abhi001vj To be honest I am not sure in which session I am... However, in my session there are a lot of posts in the forums for week 1 and a few posts for later stages of the course.

Any updates on this? I'd love to rejoin the course and pay for it if it's now possible to finish the course and get a certificate.

@marlonjan Did you try the course again most of the problems are solved in the forums.

[marlonjan]

@Abhi001vj Yes, I completed it a few months ago. Back then there were still a few issues but it was possible to solve them by editing the submission scripts. Great course overall, and even better if the bugs have been fixed by now!

Feel free to close this issue if everything works.
