For the most part, the expert videos were not very useful, as they provided minimal insight. The communication style was ineffective and made it difficult to engage with the material. A better approach would have been to use animations with voice-over explanations, which could have presented the concepts more clearly and improved overall understanding.

It was hard to follow. Some of the answers for test were not the same as the answers in the course material. I struggled with this course and easily lost interest. There were too many small details that clogged up the more important bigger details of what this course was trying to teach.

Lot of fluff that didn't need to be tested on (specific salaries???) and two of the expert opinions videos were questions that barely differed in content or character. Overall the course is full of good information; I just don't enjoy being tested on fluff.

Some of the questions are very misleading like "Which is the best way to prep for certification?" (Study guide), (Practice Exam), (Active Learning), (Study Group)
