good match, very complete and detailed

By Bayyavarapu Yashonath on 6/10/2026

The course content is relevant and practical, and the instructor did a great job explaining key concepts. I think the course could benefit from more in-depth coverage of advanced topics and additional practice problems. Improving video quality in a few sections would also help. Overall, a valuable learning experience.
