Customer Reviews
Content is solid
The content is solid, and the topic extremely important and interesting. However, the lecture would be so much better without the constant insertion of the word. “Right” it’s equivalent to a teenager constantly saying the word like it’s far more interesting without the constant insertion, which is distracting a bibliography would be very useful as well. very interesting topic nonetheless.
Why do all the lecturers talk so fast?
So many of them sound like they wrote a 75 minute lecture but they only have 60 minutes to deliver it. Slow down!!
