The first 2 weeks were amazing but I didn't enjoy the 3rd and 4th week lectures as the materials and explanation weren't as nice and simple as the first 2 weeks!

Overall course was good. I would have given 5 stars if the instructors/staff were responsive to Forum questions (which is very important for FAQs - in my opinion)
