Modules 1 and 2 are definitely introductory material. Modules 3 and 4 require a decent amount of understanding of coding (Python).

Fewer headshot videos. More slides to summarize key points. The first 3 modules need better English to ensure more effective examples for Prompt Engineering. And those modules could easily be shortened as it just takes knowing the key terms and doing 1 or 2 labs. Doing the labs through video is painful. Better to set-up labs with side-bar tutorial so a person doesn't rely on low resolution. Especially with Notebooks, you can easily type out the instructions or link to a video demo/gif if needed of that step. Rather than external labs, especially for HTTP API, be better to have an internal lab. Better quality code share in 4th Module

Nice course on "Introduction to Generative AI". It was a brief introduction to Gen AI concepts and how to use LLM APIs to create custom applications. Truly beginner level course.

The first two modules are interesting. The third module is lacking with respect to the information that is needed to do the programming work that (optionally) can be done. The programming work for fourth module is impossible to do. The messages in the forum for module 4 suggest that the course has been abandoned by its makers. the course can be completed without doing programming work, but I was really looking forward to that. My review in one word: avoid.
