Very well structured course. Not that difficult as i thought but it did take me much more time than I expected. You'd better focus on learning for several hours instead of using short time slot.
It's hard to understand the data that given for quizzes but the teaching of professor Jana is really amazing.when i ask questions in discussion forums there was no tutor to help you out soon.
course was very interesting and was very thoroughly done , examples given were very good and helpful and I am very sure it will help in the long run!!
thank you.
it was a wonderful journey.
