The assessments covers a very long session however I enjoyed the overall session except the long time run of assessment. Usually assessment is taking more than an hour...

I am very pleased with the initial course in this specialization. The four-week duration is perfect for the amount of weekly hours I could put in. I expect to start the next course right away.

Great course, lots of information! While the professor was extremely knowledgeable, the course did get a little tedious with all of the pure memorization.
