So far the course been good, I'm not done with the course yet, but there's one thing for sure. She takes her time to explain each topic, I don't think there's anybody on this course that will say they don't understand gradient maps. This lady took her time, provided more than lessons video on gradient maps, with many examples. Keep it up ma, welldone
