    further details can be added and the course is not updated after 2020. However alot has changed in the past 4 years

    Content seems to be fine so far. A thematic common thread is missing. This seems to be a collection of different slide set presentations of different persons at different events. Now after having watched the first half of the course, I miss the information about who held which presentation at which event and when. There is no transparency about this at all. One other thing I'm missing is a certain quality of the English transcripts; these transcripts need serious amendments.

    It comes across as a hodge poge of different items. I thought it would be taught by the instructor.
