Helpful material. The structure was logical for the most part. Might not be for absolute beginners though.

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

The course covered the basics well. Some sections were more engaging than others. It's a reasonable starting point, I suppose.

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