Reviews

There were still some questions on the final exam that were NEVER introduced in this course, it is a bit annoying because I would have done even better on my exam. I really don't know why they do that

Good course, but this BAC Backs that's mentioned in the course, that WASN'T covered in the course as well as a few other things wasn't cool. Would've gotten a higher star rating if all that was covered.
