I liked the pace of the course. I like that I have more than instance to use the lab.
the class/lecture was amazing and very easy to understand and was in detail.
I thought the course was informative and the tools to go over the material were very nice.
Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.
great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.
