Great introduction into the remaining courses. I love that there are different learning methods, ie, audio and reading and that there are quizzes at the end of each to help you digest the information.

I think we're all champing at the bit to get more to the meat, but I think this was a very well put-together overview. And I think the presenter did a good job.
