The course itself was great. But I did not like the fact that other participants had to evaluate my tasks. Some of these people did not do the tasks by themselves, they wrote strange and stupid things and they put low scores just for fun or any other reasons that I can't understand. I think the tutors should check all people who sign for the course. Some of them are really weird and aggressive and maybe have psycho problems, they spoil the whole impression of the studying process.

I really very much enjoyed this course. The instructors are great and the information is clear and concise. Thank you very much for your hard work and effort on this course. But I can't complete the course due to some congratulatory videos at the end of each week are locked. I've tried several browsers and an app as well but it didn't work. I had reported an issue about these locked videos but I guess nobody reads them.

El curso me pareció bueno e interesante pero no entiendo si es un curso calificado como GRATIS, por qué cobran por el certificado 41€. En mi opinión particular debería ser más asequible porque precisamente hacemos cursos gratis de este tipo porque estamos desempleados y no tenemos ingresos.

Gracias por lo aprendido, aunque lamentablemente el certificado del curso no lo podré obtener.

The course is good, however there shouldn't be any charge for the course certificate. There is no point in doing courses for Indian students because you guys are charging for course certificate which not everyone can afford.
