Perfect
Thank you!
Every module is very detailed and informative. Very easy to follow and comprehend the material in each module. Will definitely recommend this program to others.
There was good information, but the experience was not great. Here are some things I really did not like: the robot narrator was very annoying; the timing was often off between the audio and video; I could not go back to certain points in the video without replaying the entire video; the section on variances was not covered well; but then there are several points that get repeated many times. Repetition is good for learning, but these videos can be rewatched as many times as needed. Some of us don’t need that much repetition, and it just makes for an unnecessarily longer video.
This course was easy to navigate and all the information was easy to understand!
