So far what I like about the course, is that the teacher is not overwhelming the student with the entire scope of Zbrush tools. So far basically sticking to the tools that will be used for the project. I also like the idea that the demonstrations are done on the model that the student will be working with. Makes it easy to follow and gives insight into the expected results.

Didn't have any issues following along, and while there was no info regarding creating the base mesh or how to UV map it initially(Both non-issues for me), the coarse overall was great. Learned quite a bit.
