Overall a good learning experience. The structure made sense, and the examples were relevant, though I felt some topics could have been explored more thoroughly.

Really enjoyed this course. The structure made it easy to follow, and the content was super engaging.
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.
