All good, just the voice pitch could have been worked a little to be more friendly, as the way it is now is making the course presentation a bit difficult to understand at times

The sound quality is very poor. He was to far away from the mic and with his accent I had a hard time understanding what he was saying.

The teacher seems to be just speaking the words stated in the ppt. They have provided a few examples but it can be improvised and can be made gripping and much more effective.

It's interesting, but i'd like to receive also some practical advices besides theory for each topic, for example when you tell that 6% decrease of purchase price bring 75% profitability- would be great to have some advices, how it can be achieved, also when is increasing of purchase costs grow with 6% means -75% profit, so tell us please which are typical mistakes that could bring to such a situation and how to avoid them... Thanks
