I enjoyed the course a bit. But in middle i got stuck for some lectures which were designed in a bit difficult way to understand. Otherwise the rest of the materials were great. Learnt a Lot!

Great fun to do. Stretches the mind and makes you realise how little you really know. Loved the time travel part and the brain in the vat part.

English is not my first language. Nor a second one. This course was interesting but rather challenging to understand some bits here and there.
