The course covered the basics well. Some sections were more engaging than others. It's a reasonable starting point, I suppose.

Found it useful for a refresher. Not sure it would be the best starting point for a complete beginner, tbh.

This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.

Really struggled with this. The explanations were confusing and the structure felt disorganized. Not beginner-friendly at all.
