Not rocket science, but well formatted

This isn’t a terribly hard concept, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to teach.

The course is well structured and organized. I believe I’m ready for this test (we’ll see!).

The only note I have is that I wish they would hire a real voice actress and not use text-to-speech. That tech makes it much harder to stay focused and a voice actor can do a better job conveying the concepts covered in the course. There were multiple times where I had to spend some time relistening because of the text-to-speech robotic cadence had me thinking they were saying something slightly different than the text (especially with lists).
