Overall relevant and clear presentations. Course material quite general, but I guess this is expected from an introductory-level course.Peer-reviewed assignment's instructions can be clearer.

Pretty good overall, although some exercises are a bit difficult to understand from the descriptions and instructions given, some graphs and initial reference documentation for exercises might help
