The course was clear, well organized and I really learned a lot from it. I wish thought that you make two types of certificate in a way that free courses would end with a certificate too.

Pretty good course and well organized and professors are great. The course is so introductory; it would be great to have an intermediate or advance one to continue this interesting topic.
