Overall interesting and well done. Some of the quiz questions are a bit "in the weeds" for a graduate level course. The instructors are excellent.

The course could use more practical examples and generally be more concrete - it's quite theoretical and very very broad. But generally it's a nice course and I gained some useful knowledge
