It was very informative, but in some areas, it lacked sufficient detail on the subject.

Practical (e.g. python) examples were shown but were difficult to follow as no foundations were given.

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.

The course provides only a surface-level overview of the topic, lacking depth and critical engagement.
