I found the course to be frustratingly disorganized and lacking in depth. While the introduction to basic concepts is provided, the pace is overwhelmingly fast, leaving little time for practical understanding. The projects often felt disjointed and poorly explained, making it hard to connect theory to application. Additionally, the grading seemed arbitrary, with little feedback on assignments. Overall, it failed to deliver the solid foundation it promised, leaving me feeling confused and unprepared for real-world challenges.
