An excellent course in terms of content, the overall impression of which, however, is spoiled by poor sound quality and technical overlaps in the video.

The content is quite awesome, everything is structured well. Some things are explained brilliantly, I learned something new from this course even though I had studied the same topics before. Technical side needs some polishing. The videos are poorly cut/edited, sometimes parts of the same phrase repeat twice because of a cut. Also there's background white noise and some other extrinsic sounds which are distracting at times and could've been avoided while making the course. Also there are minor bugs present in quiz'es. E.g. the "Arctic ice" comment from question #6 appears in question #1 which has nothing to do with ice (most likely a copy-paste error). Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with first 1/3 of the course and I'm looking forward to finishing it.
