Good info, just a bit much on repetitious content with slides and audio.

By Joy Thren on 4/16/2025

The information was good, but I felt that the narrator of the course was not familiar with the topic. Many words were mispronounced and I feel like someone that knew more about it personally could`ve given more valuable insight thank just reading a script
