Since I'm currently doing a study of Buddhism and finding my way through it, this being the second free course I took I do like that I have learned more than the other course I took didn't include. I do think the notes on screen could be a lot clearer as I had to look closely at my computer screen, granted I'm splitting my screen as I take notes. I had the speed set to 1.5 and it sounded like he was talking at normal speed. I wished he made videos talking about the different Buddhisms instead of putting a article on there, the article was nice, but it should've been more of a additional option rather than a whole part you had to read.

well, I know this is a beginning course. So the info is all right, however, the narrator is so slow in his explanations that it seems that this is a course that is going to drag on and on and on. Info good, delivery OF info, horrid. I'll look for a more engaging instructor who is not so stunted and slow in speech. Learning is more effective when it is smooth going.
