    Exercises are far to simple.
    Some explanations are not in depth enough to show the real nuance of the subject.
    Some instructors are hard to understand. (example victor orozco) In other courses I have been able to depend on the CC to help me adjust to accents. The CC for this course has wrong words and misspelled words. It has not been reviewed for content so sometimes it decreases my understanding of what's being said. I find this troubling as I'm known in the office as the person who deals the best with heavily accented English in clients.

    I'm finding the course quite tough as my java experience is not great. I need to look things up elsewhere for additional examples etc. However, I am enjoying the course and it is pushing me ahead and covering a lot of new material.
