Pretty good overall. The structure was logical, and many of the examples were helpful. A few areas could have used a bit more depth, but it's solid.

Pretty good foundation. The explanations were generally clear, and the structure made sense. I'd say it's a worthwhile course.

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.
