I'm learning a LOT, and you don't have to take it quite as slowly as they suggest. But, it's nice that there's a manageable pace set out for you. Instructor and guests were great--relatable and clear.

It is a very good course. It is a great foundation that does not stuffed too much content, combined with the study period that is quite not accelerated.
