    The exercises are good. I have the feeling that it was necessary to emphasize more examples. In general the course covers what was expected, however it could have been better.

    Yes this was very good. Why, many times I realize that the instructor will have a foreign dialect. This can make my learning sometimes slightly more difficult (not in this case). I do not mean to be condescending in any way or trying to stereotype instructors please understand. The pace our instructor uses here and his level of depth as to his actions are excellent. Thank You
