Course is a bit outdated (2023) and should be adjusted to the latest trend of August 2025 i.e. computer specs, Windows 11, etc.

The very shallow introduction basically stays at the popular science level suitable for junior high school students to read. It doesn't mean much to finish.

It is just an overview. It does not go deep enough to be of any practical use.

Frankly, it is an incomplete, insufficient, irregular, and not properly organized course. Unfortunately, it is one of the worst courses I have ever applied for.
