I like how the course is broken up into several mini sections. It makes it much easier to focus and learn.
It felt disjointed at times. and some videos still need captioning. maybe make it so captions stay on between videos?

I took tons of notes because I didn’t know you’d give us the workbook at the end. I guess I didn’t need to take all these notes because that aspect of it was stressful to me, however, I’m glad I did because it makes retaining the information better. This information is very important and it’s great knowledge to have if you work in this business.
