The overall course is really good. The amount of content is less than the rest of the previous courses. The final course project was the most challenging of the whole specialization so far.

It was much more challenging than the previous courses, which is what I wanted it to be. Who wants to go to a course and learn something easy that is not applicable to real world at all?
