Helmi Y.
I had a wonderful time while completing this course! I enjoyed the detailed course notes that were so clear and easy to understand. I have only one comment, we need the instructor to share procedures whenever he mentions that there are procedures in the course notes and relate it to real situations. This makes the course more enjoyable. I am beyond grateful for the instructor’s time and efforts.
Kind regards
