The dissent
The most-upvoted critical review (1 vote, 3.0★).
“I think that the course actually covers Bootstrap in a good way, but at the same time the approach given to it IMHO it's wrong. The final project, you create this website for a dining restaurant, that's good so far, but you start implementing bootstrap mostly using its utility classes, which are very limited. That leaves you with the question of "where are all this styles coming from?" and they come from a pre-built CSS file that has all the styles, something that would be good for learning yourself. So, what I am trying to say is that the approach towards the final project it's bad. It would be good to focus it more on the pre-built components side of things instead of "building" an entire website using its utility classes when in reality all the style of the project is pre-built on a different CSS file.”
Coursera's 4.4 comes from 105 ratings. Of those, 5.7% are 1–2★.
Starisk reads the reviews learners voted most helpful, and weights each by the square root of its votes: a review with 80 upvotes counts about five times one with 2. Unvoted reviews are not skipped out of laziness — by this model they carry no evidence that other students endorsed them.
That measures what the most-endorsed reviews say, not “true quality.” The rating distribution above is the whole population, so you can see the sample next to it.
