It was a good course but I felt that the teaching was done only by looking at the bullet points and not elaborated.

Very basic. The structure is odd; the last week contains more material than the rest of the course put together.

In my opinion a clear guideline is missing. The terms are not always the same and it's sometimes confusing.
