Really enjoyed the flow of this. The practical applications discussed were spot on. Great course!
The examples weren't always directly applicable to what was being taught. A bit confusing tbh.
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.
