Good foundation built here. Some of the explanations could have been clearer, and the pace was a bit inconsistent, but overall a valuable learning experience.
Overall a good learning experience. The structure made sense, and the examples were relevant, though I felt some topics could have been explored more thoroughly.
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.
Found it useful for a refresher. Not sure it would be the best starting point for a complete beginner, tbh.
Hmm, I'm not sure this is for beginners. Some parts skipped over foundational concepts too quickly for my liking.
Found this course to be quite beneficial. The way topics were introduced was effective. Just a minor point, some examples felt a bit dated.
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.
Not sure this was the best way to learn this. The examples felt a bit dated, and the overall structure was confusing. I needed external resources to make sense of it.
Really enjoyed this course. The structure made it easy to follow, and the content was super engaging.
It covers the basics well. I think more varied examples could have enhanced the learning experience further. Still, a worthwhile effort.
Couldn't have asked for a better learning experience. The structure flowed perfectly, and the examples were incredibly relevant. Highly recommend!
