The instructor explained the concepts in a lucid manner and the course was easy to follow, especially for a beginner such as myself. While I would like to say that the course would need more hands-on challenges, the ones that already exist are relevant to their respective topics. Overall, the was very informative, especially from a beginner perspective.
