very user's friendly course

very easy to get through the course. if you want a certificate you pay, but if you just want to learn about a topic of interest, all it is free.
the cost for the certificate is moderate.
As a content feedback, I found just little repetitive among the slides.
Overall is a great way to grasp the theoretical base of area of interest. Thank you for this opportunity.

The only flaw really in this course is that there were some questions on the tests at the end of modules that weren't actually discussed at all until the module after said test. The only company flaw is the ridiculously expensive price for a digital certificate.
