had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.
the class/lecture was amazing and very easy to understand and was in detail.
I was very satisfied about how the course was organized. Sean Did a very good work
great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.
the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
