This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.

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.

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

Not worth it. The course felt very poorly put together, and the information wasn't useful in any practical sense. Avoid.

A good introduction. The structure was mostly clear, but I wish there were a few more real-world examples. Still, learned a lot.

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.
