Instructor does not care to answer questions or help students as promised. Just tells you "you're doing it wrong". Not helpful for learning.

The Course sessions are running without any Audio. These are just slides moving from one to the next with no sound.

I can't see the slides on the Tv in the classroom. It would be better if the course was adapted better to online learning.
