To the author. First of all - Great job covering such a breadth of topics. As a formally trained & experienced corporate trainer and course developer, I suggest slowing your presentation considerably. I understand that one can pause and go back. I also understand that you try to keep each video within a certain time limit; however, you should not increase your pace. It may just be a natural pace for you, but slowing your pace allows students time to absorb the material you're presenting. To be fair, you did do this in some lessons, but in others you would speed up. Also, be more descriptive in your explanations as well. For instance when you were explaining roles & grants in Access Control Framework, you were explaining while drawing on the screen - Good, but you used the terminology, "that one" and "this one", and "that one" while circling objects and speaking very fast. It is more burdensome on the student to learn that way. It would be better to use exact terms like, the role names, and again slow your pace. The pace and voice tone are the main things I wanted to point out. Consider calming your tone in your delivery. I'm attempting to help, not criticize, so I hope this helps you. Lastly, in several lessons, some topics could be explained or fleshed out more before moving on. I know I didn't give a specific lesson here, but I do remember experiencing it in more than one lesson. I am still consuming the course, and I really appreciate the effort you put into it. I wish you much success in your career.

The content is good, but it needs to be revised to align with the current exam topics. For example, you mentioned that the Database role is still in preview, so questions related to it won’t appear on the exam. I also think we should focus more on edge cases and additional scenarios rather than just understanding the main topics.
