Undoubtedly, the above-mentioned headings of the course are much useful for the preparation of I.R CSS papers. These are completely relevant to the topics. But, these are not the comprehensive ones, and I fear that it might be a time-consuming one.

You might be right about time concerns but as I have done few courses at coursera previously I can tell you that they are great for beginners and very interesting that make learning fun.

One should not form an opinion or assumption on someone or something based purely on what is seen on the surface, because after taking a deeper look, the person or thing may be very different than what was expected.
