1. Course materials are only partially provided (Python code used in lectures, prompts, and such parts are not provided. If they weren't provided with the intention of having us write them ourselves for practice, that's understandable, but doing fast-forwarded recordings + large amounts of text + following along with the lecture? At least for me, someone who listens during spare time while working, it was burdensome. My personal wish is that the lectures could be broken down more, providing situations and practice scenarios.)
2. As an example of the above point, there's a part in the middle of the lecture where we create prompts based on posts from reddit, but materials for those reddit posts are not provided, and there's no guidance on where to get such materials for individual testing. To provide follow-along practice, at minimum similar materials would be needed, but that part is missing.
3. In the middle section covering promptfoo, it just assumes npx installation is already done and proceeds.
4. The voice tone reduces concentration.
5. Fast-forwarded recordings of code or prompt writing + simple explanations (explanations that sound like reading README files... not engaging): No motivation to follow the class is provided.
This is my impression after completing 40% of the course. Honestly, I intended to listen to the entire course before leaving a review, but before finishing the remaining lectures, I'm questioning whether it's right for me to continue listening to this course, and I feel my motivation dropping.
The course fee isn't cheap either, so I don't recommend it for those thinking "I should lightly get into prompt engineering."
However, for those who already know a bit about prompt engineering and have previously worked with AI through APIs and want to learn more professionally? Honestly, I'm not sure about recommending it... Since you would know better than me, I'll leave it to individual judgment.
Please note that this assessment may change as I continue with the remaining lectures.
