Excellent content, and the assignments were great as well. Even better is that now as I work through my workflows, I now have these videos to reference if I am having difficulty with anything. Cheers!

One of the amazing platforms UC Davis provided to the students through Coursera. Enjoyed the course by doing practical work and its submission. I feel lucky to have hands on such an amazing course.
