    The professor is great! A lot of energy and a lot of passion in his classes. He makes it fun and engaging while never being with him in the same room. Great effort and great work! Enjoyed the class

    I found it quite interesting, suggest to make the lessons a bit shorter.

    I didn't like the professor's teaching style. He took way more time than was necessary to get his points across. Plus the little quips where he's pretending to engage with the viewer made it feel like a kids show. There were some good nuggets of info, but there was too much filler to get to it.

    los subtítulos en español no son claros, están generados por computadora y eso no los hace comprensibles.
