The consensus
Every one of the 19 reviews we read gave it 4★ or more. This is the most-upvoted one (3 votes).
“As usual, course material and instructors methods in teaching are more than perfect.”
Coursera's 4.9 comes from 1,317 ratings. Of those, 0.4% are 1–2★.

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.
