I give this course a low mark due to the way it's presented. The information is good, but a large percentage of the course is presented with PowerPoint, with no actual content on the pages to explain it clearly. You literally have to remember everything from the start.
Also, the AI bot goes outside the structure of what you have learned and asks you to explain principles not covered.
