The examples weren't always directly applicable to what was being taught. A bit confusing tbh.

Tbh, I expected a bit more practical application. The theory is there, but translating it feels like another course entirely. A bit dry.

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.
