It's okay but within the first module they try to sell you a book. The videos are designed to follow along with their book, so this feels like a sales pitch for their book, not an actual course designed to help you. I'm sure the book is great but I already paid for Coursera, I don't want to keep sinking money into materials that could be outdated because this industry moves so fast.
While very informative and it taught me a lot, I'm just not sure everything it taught me is on the exam and feel like some things might be on the exam not taught.

Some of the dialogues and videos don't cross reference making it sometimes difficult to answer the questions. The videos don't really prepare and help you answer questions. The video's just helps you learn a bit about what to expect. Not helping you critically think about certain situations.
