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.
Really enjoyed this course. The structure made it easy to follow, and the content was super engaging.
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.
