The course is well paced and they get you comfortable with the topics even though we do not have any sort of prior exposure in this field. It is very good for the beginners who are new to this field

For a foundation course, this one was easy to understand, it explained all basic concepts in a fluid way and built up the base for the upcoming courses. I'm eager to move on to the other courses now.
