The sessions were structured to be both engaging and accessible, breaking down complex concepts into digestible, practical knowledge. The timing of the course was perfectly planned, with well-balanced lessons that allowed for comprehensive learning without overwhelming the oneself. The interactive teaching approach as well as assignments encouraged active participation, making the learning process both enjoyable and highly effective. I found myself consistently challenged and supported, creating an optimal learning environment. It is, without doubt, a five-star learning experience that delivers exceptional value.

The learning curve is a little steep. You have to be familiar with LaTex or you get lost. I use texStudio and found that the examples would not compile until I got rid of babel. I haven't figured out why that is. I jus put an % infront of that line and after that it compiled jus fine. It is also a bit difficult to figure out which section that you're supposed to be using. A little patients and then the information is good. I am enjoying it.
