Hmm, I'm not sure this is ideal for beginners. Some concepts were glossed over, and the examples weren't always clear.

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 decent introduction. Could benefit from more diverse examples and a slightly better flow between modules.

The course covers the basics, but I'm not sure how applicable it is for real-world scenarios. Needed more practical depth.
