Informative and to the point

February 4, 2025

This course is informative and to the point but a few things I would make better are; making sure the volume is the same throughout each course or module, I found it difficult to hear some of the slides even though the volume was completely turned up on my end. Making the capabilities of rewinding on all modules would be helpful for those who wish to take notes, I found that some videos breezed through viable information and if I did not pause the video in time I would have to rewatch the entire video again to get to the part that I wanted to hear again (only some videos were unable to fast forward and rewind). Also, not using a voice generator for every slide would make it slightly more personable and definitely more interesting. I do like that you have to continue clicking on to the next slides and the review questions after each section, it kept me intrigued during the entire course.

It, a bit repetitive…which I understand is a tool used in learning but also makes the process seem even slower than before. Overall the information is good, the videos helpful, and the review quizzes a good way to make sure you retained the knowledge.
