The narration is barely audible under the deafening backround noise. The pace and energy of the narrator could be better.

It is just text.. No Practical examples in this chapter. Also Author need to improve on voice recording. Without transcript it is very difficult to understand what he is teaching.
By Dominic Bell on 2/25/2021

This course is having excellent content with very good explanation. Factor that is affecting is the audio quality. Very Poor. Almost all the videos having this problem. Instructor should correct this problem. He should use a quality mic for recording the content. Students will definitely may get a wrong impression about this course if they see this audio qulaity .

A very detailed and comprehensive course on F&O. Beauty of this course is instructor has got tremendous knowledge on the subject and has provided insighs based on his own experience with real life examples & case studies relevant to each topic.
