The content was top notch and this has been an excellent course, but there are some misspellings on slides and the audio could be improved in places.

Some of the lectures could have been placed in a different order. One or two of the lectures near the end could have been placed a little higher up.

Answers to quizzes are sometimes not available in the videos. It would be more understandable if the sound quality in the videos could be improved.

Wonderful information and pace. Just some of the videos had delays which were not due to my internet connection but the videos themselves.
