    Anonymous review on 2/3/2016
    The professor is very nice, answer questions with good attitude and patience. I wish the instruction is a bit more clear and more structured to someone with zero background and try to grasp everything in less than 8 hrs. Got lost quickly on some occasions when working on the projects later. I think a lesson like this to a very beginner needs to break down into few sections so we get to practice a bit in between, esp on the very important key points that needs to be reinforced. Overall not bad experience but wish I felt I got it after I took the lesson.
