Speaking as a professional science teacher (I am now moving into data science for family health reasons): This has the makings of a great course. Please keep at it and keep refining this course, it can be great. Courses like products take many 'iterations' to develop properly. The goals and focus of the course need to be more clear. Something that can take while to learn when learning how to teach, is just how detailed and specific the teaching plan needs to be. What are your teaching goals for this course exactly, not roughly, very exactly? e.g. What is a survey? Why? is that clear to the audience What is in detail? Why? is that clear to the audience What exactly are you preparing the audience to be able to do? Have you 'user-tested' this with a cross-section of people (ages, backgrounds) to see whether this is effective in meeting your goal? How do you accommodate variation in the user population? Also: The overall idea is great: please re-record the audio, it is very difficult to concentrate on: - the volume goes up and down - the pace goes up and down - the sound quality goes up and down - the cadence is sometimes random as if reading a script without comprehension - the music in the background is only an obstacle to understanding what the person is saying. + - some examples (e.g. where dot products fit in) are not clear at all. - it isn't that the text-animations are a bad idea, but they are often confusing because they are not synced to the dialogue: so if you are watching the text animation, the dialogue is talking about a different topic, which is distracting and confusing. (e.g. an animated arrow pointing to something that is not what the speaker is saying, which then does not reinforce what the speaker is saying). Q: Which naming conventions are standard and should be studied, and which are arbitrary? (e.g. R,P,Q) - many of the slides are very 'busy,' with a lot of things on the slide that the speaker is not talking about. e.g. The start of lecture 10: begins with a large full slide of text..." where" is the lecture on that slide?

She has explained amazingly but could be better if she has explained more details in coding part for the beginners.
