everyone should do this course because experimental solutions are also explained and we get a practical approach for each questionvery well prepared course with simple and lucid language.

Well taught. I'd done the subject before but this was a good refresher. It also went fast enough and had enough context that I didn't get bored repeating stuff that I needed to repeat.

I liked everything about this course except the unavailability of answers to the quiz questions. I think that once when someone passes the test, he/she should be able to view the answers.
