The instructor used a really poor structure for the course, and the code examples are quite messy, which made it very difficult for me to follow along. It’s not a major issue, but at times the instructor’s accent was also a bit hard for me to understand.

The FastAPI Topic is very useful but the instructor is just narrating and is very bad. It is very hard to follow. This is the worst course I have taken on Coursera and this course should be replaced by a better one.

I had forgotten why I stopped utilizing packt for study resources. This class quickly reminded me.
