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

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.

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.
