Overall is a good course. But it is also suggested it would be better to provide PDF slides for review after the video and the subtitles shall be adjustable for its transparency and font size.

The course was quite informative and I had an excellent overall experience. But I feel that the peer assignment correction need to be cross checked as I am wrongly marked for correct answer.
