No se le entiende al tutor y avanza demasiado rápido.
Los subtítulos están malos, las frases no calzan.

I thought it will be in detail.

Instead of just telling definitions it would be really good if you could explain what particular code does

Skipping too much intermediary information, the challenge at this state is not reasonable given we weren't really shown examples how to solve a similar problem.

The English spoken is very Indian accent, and the caption is very bad.
By Valentyn Konovalov
I have a feeling that the course is average and follows some fragments from loopback-getting-started sample. I would expect more real-life and complex use-cases descriptions. IMO there is a room for the following improvements:
- hard to see the overall picture, perhaps using diagrams from the loopback.io documentation would be better;
- more examples about login/logout users, authorization-and-permissions via JWT or third party identity providers, startup logic and hook methods;
- more examples about ssl (https), push notifications, sending emails, publish–subscribe model;
- using storage providers such as Amazon or OpenStack;
- make presentation more informative and neutral. Hearing too many times 'Incredible!!!' distracts from the actual content.
