Reviews
certain acronyms are tough to understand. Some professors speech is'nt that student friendly .otherwise a good course especially for people acquainted with English language . Others may find it tough.
I really am finding value in this course. The assignments challenge me and I walk away from every lesson feeling the need to implement something new!
Very useful information much of which is still relevant in 2020. I also appreciate the reading material that's provided as PDFs.
A lot of information was delivered, yet it was very well summarized and easy to digest. The examples provided to demonstrate concepts were really helpful. Great course!
