The lecture's were a bit boring and hard to complete as we did not have a live teacher, it was all slides which is boring after a particular period of time

The videos provide very little visual learning aids and the voice over is robotic. Some of the questions are real hard to understand the wording and I'm pretty sure some of the expected answers are not correct.

It's too slow; if you've ever used a PC, it's almost pointless to take.

Honestly, so far this has been very disappointing: there are no real instructor classes/videos, pretty much the experience compares to a never ending power point presentation. I would not recommend this specialization, and I am only sorry it took me more than 7 days to make up my mind, so I will not be getting my money back
