Really interesting course. The interactive coding sessions with swirl are especially useful. Would be great, if you provided sample solutions for the programming assignments, in particular for week 4.

Most of the portion is just theory with very less hands-on sessions. So boring to listen to all the concepts.

Fix the assignments so they match the course content. This is unfair to the people who pay for this service.
