The practical nature of the course and Colin's teaching style have been major strengths. However, some improvements could be made in terms of ensuring every step is thoroughly explained and considering the pacing and structure of the content for optimal learning outcomes. The free nature of the course has been especially appreciated by those who might not otherwise have access to paid educational resources. **Additional Notes:** - Some students suggested seeking alternative free software for EDM production if FL Studio is not available for purchase. - The course could be further improved by ensuring all steps are covered in detail and potentially offering additional sections or supplementary materials to address any gaps. Overall, "Make Your First EDM Track" is a highly recommended course that offers valuable knowledge and practical skills for beginners using FL Studio, with room for minor improvements to enhance the learning experience.
