The most well-prepared course I've taken so far
This was undoubtedly the most well-prepared course I've taken so far, including through my bachelor's degree.
The classes were highly practical, with almost every concept being not only taught but also demonstrated. Ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to replicate the learning experience was a priority.
