The quizes often included questions not yet covered in the videos if you watch everything in order. Many of the questions are written in a completely confusing way. Worst of all, none of the transcripts for the videos have been proofed to account for the primary lecturer's very strong accent while speaking English. If English is not your first language, I would avoid this course and find an alternative. This one is genuinely hard to follow. I'm giving the course two stars because I did learn a couple of things I didn't know before.

Terrible presentations. It's so obvious that the instructors were reading off a script and the script is as dry as a textbook.
