First of all I am a little conflicted. You should not look a gift horse in the mouth and considering the course is free it is pretty good. However, I found myself getting a little annoyed with the constant spelling of every word, up to a point where I almost didn't want to continue. Furthermore, I would suggest to be a little more strict with what has to be a public variable. I am sure your students would also benefit from learning about [SerializeField] attribute, which negates (often, not always) the use for public variables. Beyond that, well done!

I'm a total beginner with coding and Unity. Followed this course step by step and i got it done after many hours of errors, simply due to me not knowing anything and stepping into this blind. The course was amazing and simple to follow. Thank you for your time and effort, it was very rewarding to complete this course and my first basic game with Unity.
