Had some good content but everything in the lecture was also on the slides with large blocks of text. Could have just read through the slides instead of listening to the lecture and gotten all of the same points.

I thought this course would be more about what's new/different in 2020 but really it was very comprehensive covering off on all the basics. A 1 hour update would have been more useful to me, personally.
