Easy to follow along. He simplifies the concepts and gives easy to follow along exercises and examples. I have been looking for this course for a while. Absolutely, worth the time and value.

The course is very informative and easy to follow and understand the only downside is the subtitles are awful sometimes I need to use them as my hearing isn’t so good and the subtitles are quite often gibberish. This could do with sorting out.

The information that 3-rd shell can have up to 8 electrons was misleading. I had to figure it out that there are also subshells which makes it possible that on the thirs shell we can have up to 18 electrons, and I had to check it in some other source. (2n^2) - where n is the main quantum number.

3-rd lesson - great :-)
