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 love the way classes are broken up into chunks to make them easily digestible. The repetition between video, reading, and exercises is also a great way to digest knowledge.
