I would say I had a great experience with the course. The concepts covered were fundamental to learning C++ and were explained well be Dr. Duffy in the lecture videos. The design of the HW exercises was what I liked the most. They were structured to build upon the new material that was taught throughout the course, which I really enjoyed. All of this culminated in Level 9, when I was given the opportunity to use all the knowledge gathered along the way to create my own classes. It definitely took time, but gave me the freedom to make my own design choices, which I think is a great way to learn to code in a real life scenario. Finally, the course forum and Avi were immensely helpful to me throughout the course, and were accessible promptly. All in all, I would say this course is a great introduction to C++ for someone who has a little bit of programming experience prior to taking the course.
