    The course was extremely rich! The material was robust, but not too dense. I appreciated the practical applications.

    I also thought that the AI presentation was extremely valuable. I appreciated that the course covered basics, but was also future-forward.

    Dave was great! He had great energy and was able to help answer questions and elaborate on the basics in a digestible way. His materials were easy to follow and he was incredibly helpful.
