The course is very clear and detailed. The best part of it is that you can stop and go back whenever you have time or are ready to continue.

Urszula C.

Good for the most part

August 17, 2025

Not every slide had a CC option. If for some reason a slide needed to be paused, CC started over while the slide continued. And the narrator had a fairly monotone voice, making it a little hard for me to concentrate

Rae

Lots if information

August 17, 2025

The videos give lots of information. I do wish that you could rewind on each video. Especially because if you’re taking notes, sometimes you only wanna go back five seconds and not have to start the video all over again
