Description
A polite request
Please watch the presentation video BEFORE joining the course; If you don't like what you see (or my accent at the time of recording) please DO NOT enroll. I've seen many people enrolling (since, you know, it's FREE) and then leaving negative scores because they didn't fancy the accent of the instructor or because the course was "too basic" (even though it's basically written everywhere that this is a foundation course for absolute beginners).
So, don't be that guy/girl, and join only if you believe this course is right for you. If you don't like how the course is structured or its content please do not hesitate to leave a negative score but in doing so add a comment explaining your reasons; This will help the instructor. A negative score without any comment or feedback is not useful to anyone and detrimental to other potential students.
