Very informational and gives you hands on experience throughout the course! I felt challenged and was forced to think differently to come up with the solutions.

Overall very informative and well presented course. I'd really like more hands-on tasks than purely theoretical frameworks where possible. But still happy and motivated by this course content.

The structure of this course isn't as clear as the previous ones, and some of the quiz questions are a little vague and confusing. But overall the instructor did a great job.
