Great course. Extremely informational, but too many scenario assignments and the lengthier videos should be broken down further. Videos should reach 12 minutes max.

I鈥� learned a great deal. A few quizzes need to be re-examined, or perhaps there is an IT problem. These are on lesson 2 and 3 examinations.
