This is not a fortran basics course, but rather a course to brush up the basics for people who have experience using fortran. However, I can’t say I have not learned anything, but as the course progressed there were fewer explanation and more of challenging assignments which made it difficult and also boring to do. It could be improved if the concepts could be explained for a longer duration with more examples and then the challenging assignments would make it interesting.
