questions in quiz include some that are not taught in the lecture or differ from those taught in the lecture. There are many missing lecture notes as well.

It may just be me, but its hard to understand some of the enunciation. The content is good, the lectures are good, but I find myself rewinding the video multiple times since its difficult to understand what is being said. I have resorted to using Captions.
