This is complex material and I think the presentation was about as good as could be done given the time and medium available. But the course seems to suffer from age. In "simple spatial analysis part 2" the code presented at about 2:40 and 6:53 generates warnings regarding deprecated concepts.

New to GIS and the review portion was thorough and drove me to research the terms in depth in the links provided. The application of python is very extensive.
