    The explosive growth of the “Internet of Things” is changing our world and the rapid drop in price for typical IoT components is allowing people
    to innovate new designs and products at home. In this first class in the specialization you will learn the importance of IoT in society, the current
    components of typical IoT devices and trends for the future. IoT design considerations, constraints and interfacing between the physical world
    and your device will also be covered. You will also learn how to make design trade-offs between hardware and software. We'll also cover key

    Instead of peer review, a more sophisticated evaluation scheme can be employed so as to test the true learning of the course bearer.

    The part of week 3 and 4 looked tough to me. I think it should have explained more. Otherwise course was worth the time
