Found it useful. The flow was logical, and the illustrative examples helped solidify the ideas. Could have used a bit more depth.

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

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.

Decent course. The structure was mostly clear, though a few examples could have used a bit more detail. Still, learned a lot.

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