La herramienta es bastante tediosa y el Walkthrough te ayuda a entender muy bien la herramienta pero los ejemplos son difíciles ya que la herramienta es muy básica. No tiene botón de undo por ejemplo.

The 'learn by doing' approach was an enjoyable way to drill the material while also presenting the idea of modeling a project and optimizing the model's performance to gain insight. Some disappointing points: The reuse of the same general scenario (activity names and relationships) with different mode attributes adds some confusion. There are some spelling or terminology inconsistencies across the exercises, as well as modes with attributes that don't make sense when compared to the other modes. The calculation of grades for each exercise is not transparent, and no grades seem to be given in the last exercise.

I think the lectures explain both the material and the exercises at a satisfying level, though the exercises are repeated in content.
