Positive: Great material, full of concepts, the teaching is simple and interactive, quizzes are amazing.Negative: Too much python programming (need to be aware of python basics)

Love the quality of thought that goes into each lesson. The professors speak with acute clarity and really demonstrate and empathy for the student to truly understand the topics!

I came out of that with a 100% and was confused from start to finish. Some of the classes did help in regards to the other programming class I took.
The beginning message that you do not need to know anything other than algebra and basic math was way off.
I don't feel like i got much out of this specific one but it is part of a package so we will see how the rest develop - usually its by the last class im like OH THIS IS WHY

A significant number of videos in the latter half of the course are absent. I had to locate and watch a YouTube video instead. This flawed course planning had a negative impact on my learning experience. Therefore, I rate it 2/5.

I got stuck for ages on the last puzzle where you cut the squares, because it was not obvious that the middle square was not supposed to be counted as the shape - it looks like a grid of 9 squares.

Very difficult to understand. I felt left most of the time floundering to figure out what the teacher was saying and how it related to the quiz questions.

I don't want to pursue taking this course at this time. It does not allow me to unenroll or cancel this course.
