Professor is knowledgeable but difficult to understand due to broken English and nonsensical sentences. Quiz material comes from external sources, such as YouTube, forcing you to track down broken and missing links. Good luck following along unless you already have a strong foundation in Tor network concepts; in which case you probably don't need this course! The discussion forums are full of unanswered pleas for peer review without ANY discussion on actual content. I'm unenrolling. Good luck to everyone.
