A solid introduction to the topic. The examples provided were helpful, but I wish there were more opportunities for hands-on practice.

Good foundational course. Explained things clearly, but could have used more hands-on practice to solidify the learning.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.

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.

Tbh, I expected more practical application. It felt a bit too theoretical for my needs, though the core concepts were explained okay.
