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

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.

Good introduction. I appreciated the clear steps, although some of the later modules could have used more examples.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Some of the explanations were confusing, and the examples didn't always seem to fit. Wish it was clearer.

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.

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