Good explanation.
I think instructor could have done better if he reviews his own lectures. Some mistakes found explaining concepts. Else tried his best to explain things.
After several lectures, I still have not learned nearly anything about mobile apps or devices. Why doesn't he get into the topic of the course already? The subtitle of the course says this is an advanced course. I don't need to learn about why information security is important because I already expressed my understanding of that by buying this course.
I have only seen the first two of three videos, so I am hoping that this general overview part will end soon. That is what I expect. The instructor seems smart and is understandable.
