Nice course overall. The content is well-structured and easy to follow. One suggestion: please improve the audio quality as the sound volume was too low in some parts, making it difficult to hear clearly.
By Josh D'Alessio on 2/23/2026
The quizzes at the end of each module are typically a single question with a very clear correct choice. More questions overall, and questions that focus on concepts instead of a singular definition stated in the module's introduction video (or other similarly top-level information) would be helpful in ensuring I fully understand the content and module.
