I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.

I love how beginner-friendly this course is. I did not have to panic about not following any lecture since I am new to this field. I know this is the first course but I'm loving it already. <<33
