Good for Learning

By Eric Jhin on 12/15/2024

I leave this feedback after completing most videos in this course. This course certainly had a lot of material, but it felt I was given a dictionary for a vocabulary test. There was way too much material even Megan could not keep up. After the first few sections, the lessons in the videos kept dragging on. Megan reads the script and then runs the code, rinse and repeat. It would help tremendously if the videos were bookmarked by key points. At first I thought other comments seemed harsh, but there was no effort to engage with (the perspective of) the student.

By Ahmad ABDEL-RAHMAN on 11/1/2023

I have been continuously having troubles opening project files and the instructors are not responsive at all.

By Bartosz Biskupski on 10/24/2023
