The audio quality is extremely poor. The instructors voice is constantly being cut off and paused by moments of silence as though the recording was made over a 28K modem.

Communication skills are monotonous and confusing sometimes
Slides presentation/diagrams are not good, it's old
The content looks aged, and needs to be updated with the latest versions and platforms

Content was well covered, but needs to articulate on some points as I wasn't able to understand some of the points and should have provided more notes. For instance, he should have provided the slides for the last chapter and provided notes explaining the diagrams he drew in the lectures, doing so would have helped me understand the points better

The planned lectures indicate great material to be covered, but UDEMY jumps the gun by asking us for this feedback when you completed the introduction and first lecture. I will update this when I am done with Lecture 4 of this course; then I will have a better understanding of how the material is conveyed.

Update: The halfway mark - course measures up but is very repetitive. Also, background sounds are distracting.
