This was a really fun course. I really enjoyed it a lot. I could understand easily. There wasnt too much of overwhelming information presented in a boring way. It was a really nice.
Great course, because you can learn about different policies and the neccesity to do changes when something is not working, due to nothing is going to be the best forever.
