It was not only a very good and engaging course but well-structured as well. The lecturer has explained all the topics in short words and has used plenty of examples to make them diverting.

I can say I was actually able to learn a lot from this course. The learning content which the lecturer has provided was worth the first month’s subscription. But the only issue here is the assignment. They were very hard to pass and most of the topics covered in the course were missing in the assignment (Kate S, ★★★★☆).
The practice quizzes were somehow a little difficult. But still, the course gave me better insights into how to make the most engaging PowerPoint slides (Zuriel GRM, ★★★☆☆).

Negative Feedback

This course contains unnecessary tasks and assignments that I have found to be very disappointing (Samira ASAS, ★★☆☆☆).
The duration of the course is too long which is more than 300 hours. Even though the course lets you learn at your ease and pace, still the duration shouldn’t have been this much longer (Uma VM, ★★☆☆☆).
