When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

Good material (theory and exercises), but I came across a few issues (in-video questions, quize questions, theory description) that may confuse students.

Reviewed on Jul 11, 2022

Perfectly organized and well explained course. The course covers the topics quite comprehensively and provides relevant exercises and hands-on tools to master the skills.
