All is good except final peer review task.You have to make a lot of screenshots and your peers sometimes put 0 for correct answer for example when you write 86400 instead of 60*60*24

it becomes easier wand clearer when one gets to complete the assignments as to how to utilize what has been learned. Practical work is a great way to learn, which was a fundamental part of the course.

The course offered by Coursera is Amazing. The Couch was good & the way he delivers & the way he teaches was good. But the review system is very slow. Which will let peers do the review.
