Some things were still confusing though it was a detailed course. And some elements of the course didn't seem to work like they were supposed to.

Would have given it a 5 if the course content was 100% functional week 4 has issues where I had to do a work around to run the VLOOKUP function on a data set. Great course to take at your own pace
