The course covers the basics, but I'm not sure how applicable it is for real-world scenarios. Needed more practical depth.
Brilliant course! The structure was intuitive and the actionable insights are invaluable. Highly recommend.
It's a solid course. The structure is logical and most of the examples were helpful. Could use a few more real-world scenarios though.
Pretty good course. The information was relevant, and I could see myself using it. A few areas felt a bit rushed though.
Found this course to be quite beneficial. The way topics were introduced was effective. Just a minor point, some examples felt a bit dated.
