Decent course. The structure was mostly clear, though a few examples could have used a bit more detail. Still, learned a lot.

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.

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

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