Cheaply made course - which in itself may be a bit of a disappointment, but is no game breaker. What is, is the poor quality of the speaker who does not even take the time to read in the talk tracks until he gets it right - he often corrects himself during the lessons, starts a word twice and so on - which completely throws me off course trying to learn.
