Good foundational material. I appreciated the structured approach, although I wish there had been a few more real-world case studies.

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

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

It's a decent introduction. Could use a few more real-world examples to solidify the concepts, though.
