I really liked this course, it's a good introduction to mathematical thinking, with plenty of examples and exercises, I also liked the use of other external graphical tools as exercises.

It felt more like learning how to do puzzles rather than learning math. But maybe that was the objective and I didn't get it!

Really nice course. The four stars are due to the time taking by the teaching staff to reply to the questions in the forum.

Add video explanations for all the course content, because reading material alone is not sufficient to clear all concepts.

The course was awesome. I learnt and enjoyed it. Should provide the hints/solutions for algorithm problems in the quizes.

Please update interfaces so games/activities/quizzes work properly. Retool question stems to make better sense.

The accent posed a problem in understanding the content. Otherwise, all the content and materials were superb.

The most important part of the course (implementing a solution to the Puzzle 15) is not explained well :(

We should be able to code in language of our choice, I had to struggle a bit since I didn't know python.

The only thing required is to allow learners to use any programming language instead of Python

Material is nice but the unreliability of the 3rd party graded tool is a shame
