The consensus
Every one of the 20 reviews we read gave it 4★ or more. This is the most-upvoted one (2 votes).
“In some questions correct answers are not provided in the course ,respected instructor please check answer key”
Coursera's 4.7 comes from 475 ratings. Of those, 2.3% 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.
