The course was much more informational and heavier than the previous two. I have gained a lot of knowledge and it will be beneficial to revisit notes to ensure I remain up to date with the knowledge I have acquired.

Great course, super informative, the only frustrating part is the peer gradedassignments. In order to get your grades right away, you have to linger in the discussion page and often refresh and respond quickly.
