Very basic introductory course with limited notes/supplementary reading materials. The quizzes are a bit difficult as they are quite hidden, not tally with the explanation videos.

Informative indeed. However, I wish they would go deeper into the subject. For a general knowledge background, it is amazing though. Thanks for the course :)

The course was well written and informative, although I thought the portion presented by Dr. Temple was rather poor both in quality and presentation.

The week 5 part is not effective as the other parts. It is better to learn subtopics topic by topic (title by title).

The quiz seems a little bit repetitive in W1, W2 and W3. In my opinion, the difficulty should be the beginning level.
