      Slow moving but detailed.
      Section 11 for plotting is just missing completely

      Very straightforward. Useful. Lots of little tips I wouldn't have known. I find it optimal to watch at 1.75x speed, then stop the video and try out parts myself. I spent time looking for the referenced documents and couldn't find them - perhaps clarify in an early video that we don't have the documents anywhere?

      The course was a good reminder for some basic skills I learnt in the past but allowed me to develop them and learn new skills. Section 11 plotting would have been good had thee been a tutorial. Other useful things would have been a tutorial in setting up your own Autocad to match the instructors.

      Excellent course, concise, well thought out, instructor was very clear in his explanations. One negative thing was I did not receive all the files he pulled up so had to reasonably reconstruct them in order to follow the instructions.

      Very informative, great introductory course.

      Lecture 11 - Plotting was missing along with some of the drawing examples for section 8. Otherwise great quality.
