I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.

This section of the course is decidedly an orientation and not so much an introduction. It leaves more to the student to wonder, which perhaps is intended to encourage students and not to hammer them.
