This course may not fully meet expectations for everyone, but it still offers value and is not a bad choice overall. Someone taking it will learn useful things, and it’s worth considering. That said, for complete beginners, it can sometimes be difficult to follow. The instructor appears to assume familiarity with basic tools and workflows, occasionally moving ahead without clearly showing where certain commands or options are located. The pacing can also feel a bit fast, making it harder to pause and follow each step comfortably. At times, actions are performed without being explicitly stated. For example, a track might be deleted and a new one added before the next step, but this isn’t always mentioned. As a beginner, this can be confusing, it leaves you wondering what happened to the previous track and whether something was missed. Small clarifications like “let’s delete this track and add a new one” would make a big difference. Additionally, explanations often focus on what is happening, but not always on why it is happening or what alternative outcomes could be. A few more transitional sections explaining tools and basic concepts would help make the learning experience smoother. Overall, it’s a decent course. You’re unlikely to regret taking it, but clearer explanations and a slightly slower, more structured approach would make it significantly better.
