Overall a positive experience. I appreciated the clear objectives for each module. Could have benefited from more interactive elements.

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

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.
