Not very high level of presentation techniques.

Barely structured and unorganized course. Many videos have sound problems and language unclear.

Very difficult to understand the English pronunciation. There are lots of text to speech apps that can help you with this issue. Also there are several loose things with no example or downloadable code to explore, fo example ThreadPoolExecutor Its a "mastering course" so more coding should be available. No portability issues are addressed (among operating systems and different python interpreters).
