I am positive about it.

By Maciej Bajor on 1/8/2026

The course is a good introduction to the topic given it's price. However information on each slide might be better organized and key terms highlighted to make learing easier. Instructor often spreads one longer sentence to few dashes- I found it confusing. Some definitions are shown again one or two slides later leading to Deja vue experience. There are also a few typos.

By Stephen Venter on 7/16/2024
