Hi everyone !
It is my honor to appreciate what I learnt from this course. I love it,the university,and the instructors. It is a step forward for my carrier.
This class had hard quiz.
Sometimes it seemed very basic, but some are hard unless you read and learn really well. Great class/knowledge. Practical real-life examples help.
