Decent material presented. The structure helped me follow along, and the examples were illustrative. It met my basic needs for this topic.
Good foundational material. I liked the mix of theory and practice, though a couple of the examples could have been clearer. Overall a positive experience.
Pretty good foundation. The examples were mostly helpful. Might need additional practice elsewhere for mastery.
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.
Solid content. The structure made sense, and the instructor's delivery was clear. A good foundation for further learning.
Found it useful for a refresher. Not sure it would be the best starting point for a complete beginner, tbh.
Overall a good course. Some parts were a bit rushed, but the core concepts were explained well. Useful for getting a foundation.
Good value for the price. The topics covered were useful, even if the delivery could be a little dry at times. Solid foundation provided.
So glad I took this. It provided a solid foundation and the practical applications discussed are immediately useful. Great value.
