Course Reviews

  1. Even though the lecturer is quite fast and fast forwarding more and more as the course progresses, he teaches valuable knowledge on how to setup things in a good way.
  2. Despite the fact it is somewhat hard to follow especially in the later stages, and you need to invest a lot of time going through what is taught step-by-step, the course is still one I was able to gain a lot of knowledge from.
  3. I would not recommend it if you do not have the patience to slow down the videos time and time again and reflect on what is being taught over and over again as a beginner.
  4. Sometimes further explanations would have been wonderful to get a grasp on why exactly things are set up this way and how they work in further detail, but some additional research did the trick for me mostly.
  5. Howl is really quick to answer questions and helps to solve problems really politely.
  6. Got patience or some pre-experience, definitely go for it.
  7. If you lack both, though, you will most likely not enjoy it to much.
  8. All in all, still a good course to pick up imo and a REALLY knowledgable tutor.
  9. Por ahora ha estado muy bueno el contenido y la direccion que se mostro que el curso tendra en las siguientes sesiones, pero la fluidez del maestro en el lenguaje que da el curso (ingles) no es la mejor, causando que aveces tengas que poner atencion a recapacitar que quiere decir y se pierda la atencion en sus proximas lineas.
  10. Great Job !!!
  11. Very good, the teacher explain the blueprint during the class, he don't just put the nodes and forget about us.
