It is very good content wise. However, I feel like the intro and outro are repeated every video; it is repetitive.

Better to give theory information more compare to the advance image.

The contents and slides are good. The speaking is too fast to grasp it.
By Leon on 1/9/2022
all explanations are at a very high level - no detailed explanations
By Joel RICHARD-FOY on 9/23/2021
You speak much too fast and the UDEMY application does not allow you to slow down the flow (like YouTube for example).
