Good introduction. I appreciated the clear steps, although some of the later modules could have used more examples.

This provided a good overview. The explanations were decent, but sometimes I wished for more practical application scenarios. Still, a valuable learning experience.

Okay, this course covers the basics well. Some of the later concepts could have been explained more thoroughly. Good starting point.

★ 4 · July 29, 2026

Good introduction. It covers the basics effectively, but don't expect to become an expert overnight. More examples would have been nice.

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

Luciana Jiménez EC
★ 4 · July 9, 2026

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.

Mulu Haile ET
★ 3 · June 6, 2026

I guess it's okay if you already know the basics. For someone completely new, the structure might be confusing.
