One of the great courses that i take!

by SIJun 12, 2021

i would give it a 5 out of 5 but one aspect i didnt like was that some of the images were hard to see or appeared very blurry besides that this was a good course.

by ITJul 14, 2020

Learned a ton! The only suggestion would be to improving the quality of the content such as video graphics which was not up to the par at all. Thanks, IBM!
