Course Reviews
Slightly more relaxed pace then beginner or intermedidiate but necessary due to complexity of topics. Would be difficult with more students. I've enjoyed all three elements of the python course
Course material was great, learnt heaps.
The re-written examples were very useful, however the fact they were being re-written during the class did make for some waiting around due to debugging etc. The course was very flexible for student requirements, and Matthew kept up the energy and engagement.
