thanks. great course.

Give useful information but sometimes miss a lot of details and is very vague.
When he is not sure, the end of his sentence sounds like loud mumbling.
I put 3 stars because I still learned something out of it.
PS: There is a lot of "different type of things" but never explained any of them.
