A bit fast paced narration given the relative complexity of the topic, especially for a beginner. I had to supplement it with other Youtube videos to clarify some concepts. Still great :)

The peer review assignments seem to be a bottle neck everyone on the forums seems to be begging to be reviewed and I am hoping I don't have to wait long before I can finish this and continue
