It was okay. Not the best, but it could be better if the instructor was louder and the music was lower.

It was but the three words that I describe the music in Lecture 1 are as followed and I quote: sad, emotional, beautiful. It made me want to cry when I heard that music play. I was almost in tears, and it felt so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I hope that kind of music plays in the other lectures.

Great way to discover the city of Beijing! The 4 seasons section of the presentation had too loud music and it was hard to hear you Chuck.

Production quality is poor. Udemy should vet courses to ensure they meet minimum standards before they are allowed to go live.

Subtitles are not always for translation, they also help with concentration and focus. I liked that the instructor filmed buildings that are in use, instead of some tourist spot.
