It was a good course but it could be better. I think a little more hands on after each lecture would be helpful

by ATSep 4, 2020

Instructions are not rightly mentioned, it was tough to really make sense of the instructions passed in few of the excercises.

Hope that the semantics used in instructions is taken care of
