Most Recent Review

It would be impossible to understand LEED rating systems by going through this course alone. It's just like lots of information thrown at your face without making a clear connection between it all. I mean, all the information is there but it is hard to make sense of it. Also, I hate to say it but the rhythm is extremely boring, which makes it even harder to follow. Compared to many other courses I have taken on Udemy, I feel I paid way too much, even with the discount.
