    Useful and great information but the course just wasn’t engaging for me personally. It was very text book, reading off a script and slides. But I appreciate David sharing the knowledge.

    The teaching is good but i feel like it could be improved upon because it sounded too robotic and rehearsed in my opinion. Also the speed of explanation was a bit fast for me. Overall still a very good lesson!
