Very long course. Lots of useful and detailed information. I suggest to open slides, while listening, since some slides shown during presentation are not readable.

The slides were difficult to read and the narration was reading not really teaching. The content was very good but the delivery not so much.

Good information. Some slides hard to read and/or not aligned with speaker. Good examples for each section.
