Coach was the most helpful part as I could get instant feedback on what I did wrong and how to improve. Prompting AI everyday will not help if I do not know what I did wrong.

The course design is very good, it help to evaluate the learning and guide us if we mislead anything. The best is Ai Coach which keep you motivated if you answered something wrong also.

While I already understood a lot of what is covered, this course did a great job reaffirming what I already knew but also expanded on areas, allowing me to broaden my knowledge.
