Teachers are not very good at presenting.

The powerpoint slides are not very professional made.

It could be a lot better with some small changes.

I didn't find it very much interactive. I appreciate speakers presentation but looks like they were too tired and forced to have this recorded. :(

Hard to understand the teacher of some of the 1st course. Also a handout or link to all the abbreviations they use is needed.
