It is a good course and was helpful. The multiple choice questions were tough because it felt like there wasn't enough information toanswer them effectively.

Lack of real world application and adequate examples create lackluster modules for this section of the course leaves much to be desired

Unfortunately, I was unable to get past the first quiz. It would have helped to receive feedback on what areas of the course content I could review to get a passing score. I tried multiple times, and could not pass. It was a very frustrating and disappointing experience.

Awful for people who have no background, are extremely fast-paced, and rush with little to no explanation. the examples where the only good part and case studies were sometimes brutal to interpret.
