The courses are great introductory courses for topics that I am interested in exploring but unsure where to start. These courses provided me an overall information on the topics and allow me to have introductory knowledge to better understand the concept. The videos are short and straightforward, which is great for working adults like me, where time is limited and precious. The materials are very easy to understand and absorb. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to learn new topics but struggle to find a place to start.
