No me gusto que fuera completamente escrito porque es mucha información y se hace muy pesada la lectura, siento que de contenido esta ok pero hubiese preferido que hubiese partes en video o narradas

The curriculum was very comprehensive and through. The added study bank help me focus on areas I needed to review. The flash cards help me quickly find definitions for important terms I needed to know quickly. The performance matrix help me focus on weak areas. Overall, the experience was positive, but it wasn’t easy at all. The final exams were very challenging and in some cases identified areas I very limited knowledge about.
