Very Good!

By Janna LeAnn Lorette on 8/18/2020

It is innovative and honest ab out the growing industry kindled in our hearts and minds. Hopes are set high and it is encouraging enough! I'm going on the path where God leads me and I am called to this field to make it happen. Also have ideas for oven settings with cookbooks that will automatically load the cook settings for say a DiGiorno Pizza or a meatloaf. tee hee hee

so far so good, subtitles would work and maybe speaking slower, but the content is good.

Great tutorial

By Adekunle Adewumi on 7/25/2020

Its been a great experience for me.

By Conner McCloskey on 7/25/2020

Can hardly understand what he is saying sometimes, and you must know a good amount about wiring and smart devices before you even start the course. He assumes you know a lot of terms without explaining them.

By Eduardo Castillo on 7/18/2020

Subtitles are wrong and I cant comprehend what the instructor is saying 70% of the time

Poor Quality Content

By Andres Sajgalik on 6/11/2020

me hubiese gustado ver mas ilustraciones del material y las instalaciones. Demasiado tiempo en presentar verbalmente.

By Ishani Shah on 6/2/2020

accent too strong, subtitles could help

By Alain Simard on 5/26/2020

More of a sales class/start your own Business than a Smart Home IoT class. The how-to unboxes, use double-sided sticky tape, and changing batteries videos were really not helpful.
Routers, Switches, VLANs, battery back up, hardwiring, power consumption, adding more WIFI, security lacking.
