good class
Great interactive way or teaching
Even though all these information is very dense, the way videos are made in sections and interactions are a better way to study. Hopefully I would only need one take on the exam.

Everything is really well-structured information is very clear and easy to understand I would definetly recommend this to all of my friends.
Simple to understand and to the point
This course was relatively quick. Everything presented was done so in a simple, easy to understand way and was also quick and to the point. I took notes, but I feel that the review questions along the way were helpful and I probably didn’t need the extra notes I have.
