In my opinion, the course is thrown at you. I felt as though I was not being taught, was just given information. I had to find more in depth explanations, solutions and help via other sites. The course set up is great; easy to navigate, see and understand. Once I am more knowledgeable in this subject, I will revisit the course.

extremely unsatisfied. Although the content is great. The lack of details, the missing results in the training exercises and the extremely arrogant coments (like: "Make shure you know how to do this" - Well if I did, I wouldn´t enroll in a course), making it extremely dificult to keep the pace. The quality in preparation is very deficit, and the interest in teaching even worse.

it's good for the matery

By Richard R on 20-Aug-19

there is no proper practice for problems solving.questions are given for practice but answers or solutions are not provided.How may a student get confirm either one's solution is right or wrong?.There must be a proper system for practice questions

examples used were quite nice but the method of explanation could have been better.

By Nora W on 17-Jul-19

very fast lecture and cant understand a few topics

By Jasper N on 9-May-17

Good introductory course, but you can only attempt to answer the quiz once every 7 days, then the slides that are given do not include what the lecturer wrote so you will always have to go back to the video to find it.

fair enough

By LAURA D P B on 21-Mar-19

too basic!!!

By Alain M on 30-Sep-19

The course is good but the number of trails is really less and time of each attempt is really bad
