This course does not explain. It just shows. You repeat on your computer what you see but you do not understand why you are doing it. And the quality of the sound is terrible.

I really enjoyed this course. The instructor is highly knowledgeable and very responsive. I was stuck on a project and decided to get this course and within 15 minutes i had already figured how to fix it thanks to this course. The only improvements i suggest is the audio quality. I think it can be so much better. I had to use my computer speakers all the time as using headsets made it hard to hear. I would like to see the instructor do another course on using amazons LEX! thank you again for all the support.

The accent is very difficult to understand. The instructions were well thought out but I can't even understand a lot of words even if I replayed it several times.
