Good course. thanks.

I expected an online tutorial. This is just some slides with text to speech software. I expected an expert to give online training.

Much of this course includes out of date information, techniques, languages and platforms. It is also unnecessarily long as some of the content does not convey new information but seems to be just filler.
By David Gauch on 7/12/2019
The course is extraordinarily dated and not particularly focused. Would not recommend.

Lots of valuable information.

It was ok material and pretty introductory. What I didnt care for was the reading the slides. No examples, just reading the slides with a tad more input. I eventually muted the volume and just read through the slides.
