Gareth PictonExcellent explaination throughout the modules. Extensive but not too long.
Good use of examples although music sometimes irritating. Need more subject material though as other courses have similar material. -
Pramila SharmaAll concepts Very well explained, with the help of animations and flowcharts and drawings. The best thing is coherence in each and every video lecture, moreover almost all topics covered. And in each new lecture revision of last topic is done. Overall had a wonderful learning experience.
Heartful Thanks

The teaching and delivery of content was very good and understandable. However I would not recommend this to an absolute beginner as many terminologies went unexplained even after watching the recommended videos prior the class videos.
