Although the content was good and informative, the content itself is a bit of a bore. I guess I am biased because the course is an unlearn - relearn type of course for me. But overall, if this was given to a young professional to take, it would be a very very informative and useful course.

I appreciate the conciseness of this course and the strong examples of how to use the outlined tools. The instructor was knowledgable, well spoken, and organized the content well.

I left a rating of 5 because all of the lessons were a great refresher. My takeaway here is the usage of punctuation and list.
