Had I not already learned what was in the first two videos I’d be caught up to where I am now after hours of reading. So looking forward to the rest!" - "While the instructor seems pretty knowledgeable about the subject matter, the concepts weren't properly broken down with real examples and illustrations. It, most times, felt like I was listening to an audio book." --- In conclusion, the course is highly regarded for its comprehensive content and expert instruction but could be improved by incorporating longer, more detailed explanations with clearer examples and illustrations. Students are eager to continue with the course based on the positive reviews of the material covered thus far.
