Hmm, it was okay. Some of the explanations were a bit vague, and I had to rewatch sections a few times. Not sure if it's for absolute beginners.

It covers the basics well. I think more varied examples could have enhanced the learning experience further. Still, a worthwhile effort.

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.

Good introduction. It covers the basics effectively, but don't expect to become an expert overnight. More examples would have been nice.

Solid course. It covered the essentials well, and the structure was logical. Could have used a few more practical application examples, but overall a good learning tool.

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