yes its a new experience am yet learning its aspects

By Reema Hameed Mohammed Alsulami on 1/29/2023

I want my money back. The coach only explains in general terms about the titles. This is not what I was looking for. He did not explain in detail the evaluation method, and there were no models showing the evaluation method.

By Eimear Dunne on 11/29/2022

There is no useful informaiton provided in this course. Complete waste of money. The lecturer is just rading general statements. Secitons 1 to 14 is the course overview - a course overview should only be one brief section. All other secitons are short snippets of nothing. just general statements about the topic. I question the validity of the 5 star ratings, it is not a learning course and should be removed
