Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

I have taken PM courses before and found them to be bogged down in well, dogma like terms and practices. I find this more matter of fact and more organic course less intimidating and easier to comprehend.
