Decent introduction. The structure was logical, but I wish there had been more hands-on practice beyond the basic examples.

It's a good course if you have some prior knowledge. For absolute beginners, some concepts might be a bit challenging. The structure is logical, though.

Helpful material. The structure was logical for the most part. Might not be for absolute beginners though.

Pretty informative. The course covered the basics well, but some advanced topics felt a little glossed over. Good for getting started.
