    Abhijith Gopal completed this course, spending 2 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

    The lectures are decent but very little attention has been paid to the assignments; The assignment leaves a lot of the things open which makes it hard to figure out what exactly one is supposed to code up.

    The course is definitely worth not a single dime. Its ridiculously light content spread across 4 weeks can be completed in couple of hours without breaking any sweat. The assignments are like an afterthought that are shockingly poor in quality. I can't believe I was so dumb that I watched all of the videos in the hope that I might find something useful.

    I think this course will be very useful for me. Because I love learning new things. I plan to get a master's degree in Europe in the future. My biggest dream is to win the Nobel Prize. I want to be a useful person for the world.
