Such an interesting topic

Such an interesting topic, so important but the presentation is so dry and unmotivating.
The material is almost completly without opportunites to practice what you have learned and the speaker is reading exactly what is on the slides, so there is no add value in that.
Very unfortunate on such an important topic.

Good

Overall the course was great. Good pace, good division of information, good context. There was also no spelling or grammar mistakes which has been a common issue in the past which was nice. An area of improvement is more realistic estimated completion times.
