Man had a monotone voice, very hard to stay attentive, and his accent was difficult to understand most things. He also paused talking and burped a few times and did not record over it, just left it in the recording.

By Raymond Lwere on 3/7/2025
The course is intense. It helps explain a wide range of industry-based models. The knowledge obtained here can directly be used in my work environment. The method of teaching however requires one to be individually motivated to learn because some critical information is not included in the slides but talked through by the facilitator.
