I appreciate that the author shared this course for free, but it’s basically just PowerPoint slides. I liked the quizzes.

I am surprised by the lack of actual examples. The instructor talks rather fast and I have had to replay a few times. Overall while I feel that I have learned the basics of what the application has to offer, I think actual examples would have helped me to learn where the controls are and what to expect in actual use to prep me for actually working in the application.
